<p>we filled out a 1040 tax return this year even though we were not required to file taxes so we could include it with the FAFSA. Our only income is the social seciruity disability benefits and we think it is all non taxable and when I talked to a fin aid counselor at the university they said our income comes up as zero from fafsa my concern is that we did not include a payment for our youngest child on the income tax since that goes to her ss# not mine or husbands, but there is always a spot include that for the kids under total household income on other need based state programs I have applied for High school senior D included her 4000. ss payment along with her earned income from a part time job. Any suggestions as to what we should be doing so far as the taxes and the FAFSA I was alerted to this when we were filling out a FAFSA income verification worksheet for another program, the only spot for it here seems to be child support(seems that would be a spot for support between parents for a child they share custody of) would I put it there or are they going to consider it parents other untaxed income or benefits?</p>
