Medical expenses as an extenuating factor for financial aid

[BelknapPoint]

Most definitely the CPA knows about Financial aid. I know our CPA was talking about the FAFSA or whatever that form is called. We told them our kids are too young. They even had the form to fill out and someone in their office who worked with clients to fill it out.
Using the CPA to determine IF it can be claimed. Then using the college ( if needed) to determine how to write it up (if applicable) is the way to go.

Nobody needs to pay a CPA to tell them how to fill out FAFSA. After all, the first F in FAFSA stands for “free.” I think thumper was saying that it’s unlikely that a CPA is a good person to get specific financial aid information from. FAFSA is only one small part of the overall financial aid picture.
