Adding…your tax advisor likely has NO good working knowledge of what financial aid application forms require. This can differ from what college financial aid forms require.
- If you are filing taxes married filing jointly, and there is no income for your husband, he will need to complete a non-filers statement.
- If you are filing married filing separately, the school will still want that non-filers statement.
Even with that…your husband’s income will need to be listed on the financial aid forms even IF it’s not required by the IRS or any other taxing agency. It’s income, and all income is required on the FAFSA and Profile. No exceptions.
