I understand that contributors consent must be provided even if they file taxes in a foreign country, but then will they need to provide their foreign tax info ? Since the new process is supposed to get tax info directly from the IRS I am a bit confused about how it would work for parent who live in a foreign country.
So someone that is married, but keeps finances separate still has to receive “permission” from their spouse and provide their sensitive data. This is the most invasive, idiotic new policy I have ever heard of. What happens if someone is still married and they aren’t legally separated, but hate each other? Not my circumstance, but must be a real thing. Is the spouse applying for aid just supposed to forego school because the other person refuses to be on the forms? And since the employees on the customer service line do not seem to know anything, who do you ask?! This is nuts!
Not liking this new FSFSA-and no way to get your questions answered. Always say a long wait and hangs up on you, I have been trying for days. So frustrating.
Does each married parent need their own FSA ID if they filed their taxes jointly? Or does just one provide consent for both? I haven't been able to find a direct answer to this question in any of your materials.
I found the exact website link that may answer your question. Specifically, the answer to question #1 may apply to you: studentaid.gov/resources/is-my-parent-a-contributor-text (I'm giving the link instead of answering directly because I don't know your family situation well, so my answer might be bad info)
Sent invite to husband and made an account but there is no where for him to fill out anything! I have searched and searched. Now this is ridiculous. I need help???
I already have an account, when my son send me the invite, he received an error message stating that I already have an account, how can I continue with this application ? there is no option to move forward
Can ANyone help me. I have tried to call, message and email FAFSA with no Avail, I sent my husband a invite to my husband and there is nothing for him to sign it says he has no pending forms????? does anyone know what to do.
This is by far the silliest addition to the FAFSA process - what's even sillier is the wait times to connect someone over at FAFSA

"You may GO down, but you can only CLIMB up." "Well, I'll climb up when I get back, then," said the boy, with a laugh.

You can resend the invite after you delete the current contributor and re enter the contributor’s information.
