<p>Hello:</p>

<p>How do you combine parent tax informtion on the FSFA form?
Parents are married, however, file separate returns. There are some places where you can put individual information and some that only have space for one entry.</p>

<p>We don’t want to exclude any information, but do not know how to fill out the form without
picking one parents information. </p>

<p>Any info. would be helpful.</p>

<p>I’m not a FAFSA expert, but it seems to me that you just add up the two numbers from the separate returns and put that number into FAFSA. For example: on the line that asks for AGI, you get your moms, add it to your dad’s and put that number in.</p>

<p>Yup, you just add the numbers together. If there is a loss on line 12, though, you treat that as 0 (don’t subtract it from the total).</p>
