Your Questions About Fafsa

Sandra asks…

A student tax transcript required for fafsa verification, but i didnt work last year?

Ive been selected for FAFSA verification, turns out, i need to file a request for student tax transcript for 2011, but the thing is i did not work for the entire year last year? How am i suppose to correct this?

Our pick of the answers:

If you didn't work, and didn't have substantial income from other sources like investments, then chances are, you weren't required to file a tax return. If that's the case, then you don't need to supply a tax transcript for verification. However, if you are a dependent student, you would still need to supply a transcript for your parent(s) if they filed a return. Did you check the box that reads "I'm not going to file" for question # 32 on the FAFSA? If so, your school won't require a tax transcript. If not, then go back to the FAFSA website and correct your FAFSA to show that answer. That should take care of the problem.

Helen asks…

How can I tell if my Fafsa submitted correctly?

I sent in my fafsa, and I just want to be sure if it was submitted in correctly.

Our pick of the answers:

I think you just have to wait for the result- if you feel you missed out som ething big, like your parents' income tax info or a college you plan to apply for, you can contact FAFSA to correct your application. You can check out directschoolloan.org for the application procedures. Cheers!
