FAFSA

I am separated from my husband . We have a daughter going to college this year. On the FAFSA I put my tax information and the tax preparer put our daughter on his tax form. What happens next?

Has your D been accepted into a school? If so she should receive some kind of offer of financial aid.

Did your daughter live with you more in the 365 days before FAFSA was filed? Then your income would be used on the FAFSA. Who claims child as dependent on the tax return should not affect the FAFSA.

If your DD lives with you, then your income PLUS child/spousal support would be used on FAFSA.

Did you only include your income (and half assets)? or did you also include any support?

It doesn’t matter if your husband listed the child on his taxes.

Have you received any FA pkgs?
