Hey guys, I'm working on my FAFSA and I need to find Parent 1's income on the 1040 tax form. Where can I locate this information? Thanks for the help!
Hello! I completely understand that finding specific information on tax forms can be tricky at times. I'm here to help you with your FAFSA.
On the 1040 tax form, you'll need to look for the 'Adjusted Gross Income' to include on your FAFSA as Parent 1's income. For tax year 2021 or later, you should find 'Adjusted Gross Income' on Line 8b. Be sure to double-check the year of the tax form you're looking at, as line numbers may change from year to year. Once you've located Parent 1's income, you can add it to your FAFSA and proceed with completing the application. Best of luck with your FAFSA submission and college applications!
