Thank you…I just tried to update FAFSA, but apparently once you’ve used the IRS data retrievial tool in FAFSA, it’s impossible to manually update the entries. I even thought about deleting the FAFSA and starting over, but that isn’t possible either. So frustrating! As it turns out, I found out from the first college that it does make a difference in his Pell eligibility, so this definitely affects his aid package. I guess the only option is to individually notify each school’s financial aid office.
