How do I complete the FAFSA without income tax?
So, here’s the deal: My mom is disable and has been collecting disability checks from the government. My father died about two years ago and I have been collecting survivors benefits. Since my mom doesn’t work she does not file income taxes. How do I complete the FAFSA without the income tax?
Michelle answers:
You read the form and follow the instructions. When it asks about you and your parents tax plans you simply select, “Will not file” and move on. Simple!

How do i appeal a fafsa suspension?
I know what i am going to write, but not where to send it! ive tried searching the fafsa website and cannot find anywhere to send my appeal letter. (my financial advisor told me it was on the website)
p.s: i was diagnosed w ADD recently and have been put on meds. is that a legitimate reason to appeal my suspension?
Michelle answers:
You don’t appeal to FAFSA
you appeal to your school’s Fin Aid department
make sure you also get with your school’s disability adviser
given how ADD affects learning, it is possible that this could be a valid reason for Fin Aid appeal

How do I get my FAFSA completed before Feb1 when my parents have not received their W-2s?
The FAFSA is open for submittal starting January 1 and the Oregon deadline is February 1. How do I get this done soon when my parents W2s have not arrived?
How does anyone get this done on the first few days of January?
Michelle answers:
On the FAFSA they ask if you have filed your return or not. In this case, the info would be for your parents. If the answer is no, then you are asked to give estimates for the questions asked about their finances. After they file their taxes, then you go back to the FAFSA on-line and put in the finalized numbers.

How much does FAFSA help a Sophomore student?
I am in the very bottom range as far as income. I am wondering about an estimate of how much money FAFSA might give me since I am a Sophomore student at a university. Please don’t give me the website to FAFSA because that didn’t help me.
Michelle answers:
You can never be sure until you fill it out. But what I do know is first come first serve; ie the earlier you get it in, the more money you could get.
