If your mom was not required to file taxes for your FAFSA year, then she would need to complete a non-filers statement and document why she didn’t do taxes that year.
Is your mom a single mom? If not, what about your dad?
The 2019 tax year is used for the 2021-2022 academic year…which is starting NOW. Like within the next few weeks.
So…is that the tax year and academic year you are talking about. In other words, are you starting college now…?
If you aren’t starting until 2022 fall…you would use 2020 income. That FAFSA won’t be available for submission until October 1.
