@sybbie719 IIRC, work study income IS taxable income (if the amount is over the threshold that would require taxes be paid). It’s not included as income for the student on the FAFSA in subsequent years.
@BelknapPoint am I right about WS income being taxable?
However, if the student is anticipating earning a low amount over the year, they can elect to have no taxes withheld. That is what my kid did.
They will still withhold FICA.
