If your parents aren’t required to file taxes for any reason just call your schools Financial Aid Office and tell them your situation and they will have a solution for you.

Even if your parents do not file taxes, their income information still has to be provided. They would answer the “Will Not File” box on the FAFSA. If your FAFSA is selected for Verification, then instead of tax returns you would provide a non-tax filers statement (the school should provide you with that sheet).

Even though your parents are not filing, if you cannot answer “yes” to any of the following questions on the FAFSA, then you would still be considered a dependent and need to provide parental information:

—Were you born before January 1, 1984?

—At the beginning of the 2007-2008 school year, will you be working on a master’s or doctorate program (such as an MA, MBA, MD, JD, PhD, EdD, or graduate certificate, etc.)?

—As of today, are you married?

—Do you have children who receive more than half of their support from you?

—Do you have dependents other than your children/spouse who live with you and who receive more than half of their support from you, now and through June 30, 2008?

—Are (a) both of your parents deceased, or (b) are you (or were you until age 18) a ward/dependent of the court?

—Are you currently serving on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces for purposes other than training?

—Are you a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces?

You should talk to a financial aid officer at your school for more information/guidance. Good luck!
