@kelsmom am I correct in that contributions to tax deferred retirement accounts are no longer included on the FAFSA? Or do I have that wrong.
The Profile includes info that is not currently on the FAFSA. Primary home equity is NOT on the FAFSA at all, but it IS on the profile and is used in different ways depending on the college.
For divorced parents, the custodial parent only is included on the FAFSA. Many Profile schools want info from both parents.
The FAFSA no longer reduces the family contribution when multiple siblings are in college at the same time. Some Profile schools will consider multiple siblings and others might not…you need to check each school.
