@kelsmom There is most likely some logic in the FAFSA that expects certain amounts. Because it’s not typical for someone to have such a high amount of taxable scholarships, the amount may trigger an “are you sure?” comment. As long as the correct amount is entered, you can safely ignore any warnings.
The online FAFSA application allows my daughter to enter up to $5,500 for Question 43d.
However, when she enters $7,450 (or anything over $5,500), she gets the following error message and cannot “NEXT” past the page containing Question 43d. (Unless she increases “Student’s 2019 Adjusted Gross Income - Question 36” and “Student’s 2019 Income Earned from Work - Question 38” to $15,000, then she can enter $7,450 in “Student’s College Grant and Scholarship Aid Reported to IRS as Income - Question 43d”.)
You reported a total amount from the student’s additional financial information fields that is high for the other income amounts reported.
