CSS, unemployment and State Disability Income

Paying for College
1

<p>Help! Any guidance out there on where on the CSS do you list state unemployment income and state disability income? State Disability – which is NOT federal social security disability – is not taxed. So is that untaxable income? Unemployment is taxed – whose bad idea was that btw? – so do i lump that in with regular income or does that go in a special place? Have no clue where to put these two things. And yes, it’s been a rough year for our family…Thanks for any help

<p>do you not pay federal tax on state disability income?</p>

<p>or is that below the cuttoff?</p>

<p>Hi, dont know about what you mean by being above or below cutoffs, but federal disability payments are untaxed no matter what.</p>

<p>unemployment is taxed. but is it really income? does it go in income category? i mean, cmon, we certainly would rather have real job income, but i was hoping this bad luck for us could mean our kid gets a break with financial aid. So does anyone know, is unemployment simply listed under straight income, no special category? </p>

<p>Thanks,

<p>What do you mean by “federal disability payments”? If you mean social security disability income, it is taxed in some situations.</p>
