<p>This is more a question for the FA counsellors and experts on the site, because it’s pretty opbscure. I apologize if I’ve asked this in previous years; I think I always wrangle with it. I’m a parent and full-time student, so I’m involved in filling out three sets of FAFSA & Profile apps: one for myself, one for my current college student, and one for my HS senior. (Well, I don’t have to do a Profile, but they need them.)</p>
<p>So, I get Federal and institutional aid, as does my son. I know that for my FAFSA, my aid is not income, and for his, his aid is not income. But is <em>my</em> grant aid “other untaxed income and benefits” on my children’s Profiles? Do I just leave it out? </p>
<p>(It’s hard to search the site for this question, because searches about “untaxed income” and “parents” and “Profile” are not mostly about student parents.)</p>
