Just report what you earn. You should have listed it on your FAFSA (as should the OP), but at least you were right to report it on your non-filer’s statement. If the school feels it should make a correction on the FAFSA, they can do that. Don’t make decisions for yourself about what is “that big of a difference” and what isn’t. Just report accurate numbers. They’re not asking for judgment calls, they’re asking for numbers. Most students make incomes like yours, of course they are to be reported.
