FAFSA Parent data

[ChewyDrop]

To those filling out your FAFSA.. Are you even linking your parents income tax to FAFSA. I was talking to my SOD financial adviser and she said you don't need to. She then said something about HPL and how you only want to enter your data and not your parents because eligibility is based on your parents income... which is contradicting... Unless Im getting Income and Income tax mixed up. Im so friggin confuse..
