Yes, you have to figure out what the 2017 taxes would have been if she had filed alone (probably as Head of Household). Take a blank 2017 tax form and fill it out with only her income and deductions. You will have to enter it manually on the fafsa, not using the DRT. It is very likely she’ll be required to fill out verification forms so watch your emails from the schools you are applying to.
