So my sister, 19, is currently in college and is sort of struggling to pay for classes and books. When helping her apply for financial aid, it put her as dependent and required parents 2020 taxes. However, mom hasn’t filed and owes and father is deceased. My sister also didn’t work because she was in high school. We put the option of “will not file” under our mom and completed the application.
The financial aid rep reached out to my sister and said that they need our moms taxes to move forward. My mom says she will but we already know she won’t.
Has anyone experienced this? Or know what other options we can do? Thanks!
