How much money is owed to your parents by others?

What exactly are you asking? Do you have a situation with your parents having loaned money (or sold something and not been paid yet) that you are not clear on how to report?

LOL… you gotta wonder what people are thinking. Folks on this site may be smart but they can’t read minds.

I think the school is trying to cover all bases to determine sources of funding your parents could use for college. If your parents loaned someone money, colleges could expect them to pursue repayment so they could put the money toward your college costs. If your parents sold something and are waiting for payment, colleges might add the amount owed to your family’s assets.
