My stepson who lives with us will be entering 2nd year of college. My daughter (lives with her mother) will be entering her 1st year of college. I enter my child support payments in question #93b as they are substantially more than the $4,400 deduct. Can I report my daughter in Question #74 if I don’t include as part of household on question #73?
Thanks!
Not that easy when Child Support payments are part of the mix.
Well, are you providing more support for your daughter than her mother?
If your daughter isn’t included in the question #73 answer, she can’t be included in the question #74 answer. FAFSA is clear about this.
Your daughter must be a member of your household for you to count her as a student in college on your stepsons FAFSA form.
That is is how I interrupted the questions. I contacted FAFSA who gave me the answer of “Yes,sir.” Followed by info that it takes 2-3 days to get FAFSA accepted.
The “yes, sir” was an answer to what question?
