My parents weren’t required to file taxes last year. What documents do I need for college financial aid?

100% of the income my parents received last year was social security. My dad is disabled and neither work.

Last year they were not required to file their taxes.

Right now I’m trying to apply for financial aid.

It says I need copies of their Federal Income Tax forms, W-2 forms, ect.

Which documents are they supposed to have? Do they have either of these? I called my mom and she says she doesn’t have either since they didn’t have to file. Is she wrong?

Would our tax dollars be spent more wisely if they based college financial aid on your gpa every year?

I know at least a dozen kids who get thousands of dollars in grants and subsidized loans only to keep a C average. I also know dozens of kids who are getting straight A’s while working without getting a dime of financial aid.

Why should we invest in mediocrity?
NO appeals to emotion please. There are many sad stories out there but it doesn’t mean we need to pay for it!

Will not claiming my 16 year old child on taxes help when he applies for college financial aid?

I’m worried about paying for my son’s college and, with him being 16, there isn’t much time to save. I’ve heard that if he hasn’t been claimed on his parent’s taxes as a dependent for 2 years prior to applying, he may qualify for a Pell grant and other financial aid. But I can’t find anything in writing to support that. Should I not claim him this year?
