Please do a tutorial for the widowed parent. Thank you

Thank you for the insightful information. Should the student submit the FAFSA even if both parents have not yet completed the form or the student should wait?

I got this message once i got to the financial section "We Recommend That You Return Later to Complete This Section". Yes, I gave consent.

I was doing my fafsa today and in my Dad part in the financial section it only asked him 2 questions they didnt ask the other questions i see in this video. And when he went to the page where you can review it shows questions that didnt appear and its on blank. What does it mean?

Question: if we select we are part of Medicaid or snap does that mean we don’t have to report assets? I never had to report assets for parents or student on my form and thought that was strange

I have a question.Does the partner or the spells also have to accept the invitation in order to complete this fasa?

I have to aprove the download, and by doing so I am approving that information is sent to the IRS. Many people that is an immigrant will be afraid of that. Additionally, if you agree, then will you be able to see the information? or it would just be sent to the IRS without you being able to see it. Also, if you agree to download your information.... but do not finish the fafsa... is it too late? has your information already been sent to the IRS.... I STRONGLY believe that this is a TRICK to remove privacy people still has.

I have a small issue with my fasfs application. I have already filled it and submitted itthe school. I'm trying to send me a message that I needed to upload my government documentarion like a green card or citizenship. On their school portal.

Question: In the contributor/parent section, there was no child support/parent asset question, does this mean something, is this accidental?

As a parent can you edit after submitting

As a parent should I start new form using my information or my child? I just start with my child information because the form says student id information, but I got a email saying my fafsa id was changed. Its so confusing for me. Someone here can help me please?

QUESTION : One of the NEW parts is being a "CONTRIBUTOR" - I heard if so, then each "contributor" is required to have a FAFSA ID , which requires them to apply for this BEFORE filling out the FAFSA so you have it at hand.. In previous yrs, myself , the MOM was the only one who needed the FAFSA Id (never my husband, we are married, we file Jointly on our Tax returns). WIll my husband NOW need a FAFSA Id also , or if Married, still only (1) parent , as our Taxes are filed Jointly every year?

@BestCollegeAidUSA

You are correct, if you're married and file taxes jointly, typically only one parent needs to create an FAFSA ID to sign the FAFSA form. The FAFSA ID serves as an electronic signature and is linked to the individual's Social Security Number. Since you and your husband file taxes jointly, it's generally sufficient for just one of you (either you or your husband) to have an FAFSA ID for the purpose of signing the FAFSA application. However, having both parents create an FAFSA ID can be beneficial in certain situations. For example, if one parent's ID has issues or if there's a need for the other parent to access the FAFSA application separately. It's more about convenience and backup rather than a requirement :) If you have younger students still in high school and want to learn the top secrets to getting accepted to college with scholarships, register to watch this free webinar: bestcollegeaidusa.com/registration-free-webinar-dc?

@@BestCollegeAidUSA I was surprised that, as a mom, I created my own FAFSA ID, but I am married and file jointly (taxes) with my husband. As I helped my daughter fill out the student part, I was invited to fill out the parent part. when I was doing that, it asked for my husband's information, and he was sent an email. He didn't create an ID. Why is it asking for his info now too? Also, do you know why a question was asked about how many kids are in college? We have twins, and yes, we will fill this form out for each kid. We know the form was changed to not give credit for multiples or more than one kid in college. Why do they ask this question, then? How many kids are going to be in college for the 2024-2025 year? Data??? Curiosity?

Ask your parents to log into their own FAFSA portal. An invitation from you should be listed in their portal. Otherwise, check with them if the email is in their junk or do a search in their email account using keyword FAFSA.

How do I get left over money into my bank account

When I was filling this out for my daughter, I got to the point where it asked if parents were married and I selected "yes" and it never asked me to fill out information for my husband or invite him. Now I feel like I'm stuck and I can't progress on the FAFSA form. I've tried calling customer service through student aid but the lady I spoke with was completely hostile the whole time with me on the phone and extremely rude.

I also selected married and didn’t let me invite my husband to enter information. But when the student is filling out the invite it says on top that only one parent can also fill out the form. I guess this happens if you filed you taxes as a “married filing jointly” since the information is the same.

I have clicked “continued” when my parent accepted invitation but nothing happens

If you're married filing jointly, does the student need to send separate contributor invites to each parent? My husband received and accepted the invite, but I haven't received mine yet in my activity task. Although my name and SSN are listed on my husband form, I'm unsure if both of us need to sign as contributors, or if one parent's signature is sufficient.

There should be a box for you to check the “separated” status, if there isn’t a box to check then there should be a place for you to write “separated” then you only fill in the income of one parent, and it should be the parent that has provided you the most financial support out of the year, most likely the parent you live with, (or you can choose the parent that makes the least amount of money which would be the most beneficial for you on your FAFSA 🤫) hope this helps!

What if grandma lives in the house but does her own tax returns, can we add her as a dependent?
