@twoinanddone , could you please help me fill out the FAFSA and CSS PROFILE? I’m very new to the US and very confused with all these definitions.
If someone gives you $5 because you walked the dog, that’s income. = I don’t have that kind of income to report.
If they give you $5 because they like you, that is a gift and not income. = My grandpa doesn’t give to me because he likes me but thinks I can run the household much better, pay bills (on their name) on time and spend more conservatively. What is this?
Don’t mix up income with gifts. It sounds like most of this isn’t income to you but support of your father or grandfather or child support paid by your mother. = Where, what and how to report the information then?
