And if the income doesn’t show up on her FAFSA couldn’t the college interpret that as an attempt to boost financial aid illegally? Hiding assets as it were.



I’m not sure I understand the discrepancy either. Will she file income taxes? If so, then make everything match. If she doesn’t file taxes then there is no discrepancy? If the payment is cash, then there isn’t any money withheld to be refunded…

The moral issue aside of what this employer is doing…think about the money as if it were babysitting money or lawn mowing money or any other cash transaction and treat it how you would treat that money.

Also, if college admissions offices are actually doing job verification I would be extremely surprised. The only issue in my opinion and for the student is what would happen if that student were hurt on the job and how the student feels morally about working “under the table.”
