Does State Income Tax paid affect EFC?

Paying for College

Does either CSS/ PROFILE of FAFSA ask for the amount of State Income Tax paid and does the amount of State Income tax paid factor into EFC?
Thanks!

It figures into the EFC formula for the FAFSA. It takes your income and multiplies it by a certain percentage that depends on the state.

It is one of the deductions from income on the FAFSA, in addition to federal and soc sec tax.

Table A1 on page 17 I believe

Thanks mommdc:
That was very helpful and you are correct - it is found on Table A1 on page 17. On the College Board’s EFC calculator, State tax is automatically calculated as an allowance and not reported based on the actual state tax I pay - https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/pay-for-college/paying-your-share/expected-family-contribution-calculator#

Thanks again!
