Impact that realized capital gains has on FAFSA

[cshell2]

@thumper1

How much it effects your taxes depends on several things. For instance, if you qualify for an Auto-Zero EFC based on your mother’s income then it won’t effect it at all

I think @cshell2 has a typo here. Your capital gains will affect your taxes.

How much they affect your financial aid is another story. Auto zero EFC has nothing to do with taxes…at all.

Yes typo.

Capital gains will be income for you on your taxes. How much it effects your EFC depends on several things.
