We were able to make a Fafsa correction online, I thought

@lookingforward there are plenty of FAFSA corrections you can make yourself online. Unless something has changed, this rollover thing cannot be corrected online. It has to be done by the college.

I do agree…this mistake is so easy to make. It’s a little checkbox…and if you miss it…your rollover is included as income. Seems like an easy thing for FAFSA coders to fix.

I found this…

Tax return information you transfer via the Internal Revenue Service Data Retrieval Tool cannot be changed on your online FAFSA form

I would suggest you contact the college(s) and ask them how to correct this rollover issue. If it can be done by you online…they will likely tell you to do it. But since it was imported from the DRT, that might not be the case…but do ask!!
