Income Information, Based on Your Dependency Status, is Required to Complete the FAFSA

Your answers to FAFSA questions will determine whether you’re considered a dependent or independent student. Your dependency status determines whose income information must be reported on the FAFSA form:

  • If you’re a dependent student, you’ll report your and your parental information.
  • If you’re an independent student, you’ll report your information.  Married students are also required to share their spouse’s information.
