What should I do ?

i never got paid for working at dominos, i go one day week to help put my uncle, just make the tips, this is 3 hours a week only, when my uncle gets busy. Tips only no wages.

Answer 1

the financial info you need, is what you reported on your income tax, if you didnt file but received a w2, you report that total,,,,
as to the marriage, if its legal in the US, then you fill out the form as married,,,,,,,, if its not recognized in the US, call the # for FAFSA help,,,,,, ask them how to approach it

even if you never reported your tips, dominos most likely reported any salary you were paid,,,,,, you would need that info (w2) unless you worked for tips only

Answer 2

First of all always answer with the truth. The consequences for lying on federal applications are serious. Besides, lying on these things doesn't really get you very far. Therefore, yes you are married, your household size is the size it is - and b/c you didn't declare income on your tax return it probably wouldn't be wise to fess up to it here (though I'm not condoning your fraud) - but you say you're unemployed and then you say you are employed by dominoes - make up your mind do you work or don't you. And before you think about lying some more, consider what it sounds like to the federal government when the applicant tells you he has no job, is married and lives alone. Really? How do you pay for things? All things considered, I am trying to give you a helpful answer. Tell the truth on the application as the information applies to you at the time of applying. Good luck.

Answer 3

do no longer document your FAFSA yet. complete a paper FAFSA and fasten a reproduction of your tax returns for the final 2 years and a reproduction of your W2s. also have a minimum of three letters from 0.33-events (minister, healthcare professional, college counselor, instructors, etc.)testifying on your difficulty mutually with your mothers and dads. And write your very own letter as properly. set up an appointment with the financial help officer at your college and placed across all of the aforementioned archives with you. clarify your difficulty and ask a thank you to request a dependency override. some faculties have a style to end as properly to the archives i discussed. the college can do a dependency ovveride in circumstances such as yours. you will in all probability might desire to attraction each 12 months. good success.
