The Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA) is used to collect information to help determine eligibility for state (or institutional) financial aid
programs that are administered by institutions of higher education in the state of Texas. Students that are classified as a Texas Resident who cannot apply
for federal financial aid using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) are encouraged to complete the TASFA. To review the FAFSA filing
requirements, visit www.fafsa.ed.gov or visit the financial aid office at the institution you plan to attend for the 2019-20 award year. Please note that
Texas residency can only be determined by the institution that you plan to attend. This application cannot be used to determine your state residency
status or final eligibility for state aid.
To complete this application, each item within the applicable sections must be answered. For clarification on specific items, please reference the TASFA
Notes. If you have further questions, contact the financial aid office at your institution.
The Texas state priority deadline for many institutions of higher education is January 15, 2019 for the 2019-20 award year. It is recommended that
applicants complete and submit this application and any other required documentation to the financial aid office prior to the state priority deadline date.

at risk for being homeless.
Homeless - means lacking fixed, regular, and adequate housing,
which includes living in shelters, motels, or cars, or temporarily

Unaccompanied - means you are not living in the physical custody
of your parent or guardian.
Youth - means you are 21 years of age or younger or you are still
enrolled in high school as of the day you sign this application.
Answer “No” if you are not homeless or at risk of being
homeless, or if you do not have a determination. You should
contact your financial aid office for assistance if you do not have
a determination but believe you are an unaccompanied youth
who is homeless or are an unaccompanied youth providing for
your own living expenses who is at risk of being homeless.
STEP THREE: PARENT INFORMATION
Notes for questions 41-56 (page 3)
Question 41. Report your legal parent’s marital status as of the date you sign
your TASFA (enter married if they are separated but not divorced). If your
parent’s marital status changes after you sign your TASFA, check with your
financial aid office at your institution.
If your parent was never married and does not live with your other legal
parent, or if your parent is widowed and not remarried, answer the
questions about that parent.
If your legal parents (biological, adoptive, or as determined by the state
[for example, if the parent is listed on the birth certificate]) are not
married to each other and live together, select “Unmarried and both
parents living together” and provide information about both of them
regardless of their gender. Do not include any person who is not married
to your parent and who is not a legal or biological parent.
If your legal parents are married, select “Married or remarried.” If
you’re legal parents are divorced but living together, select
“Unmarried and both parents living together.” If you’re legal
parents are separated but living together, select “Married or
remarried,” not “Divorced or separated.”
If your legal parents are divorced or separated, answer the
questions about the parent you lived with more during the past 12
months. (If you did not live with one parent more than the other,
give answers about the parent who provided more financial
support during the past 12 months or most recent year that you
received support from a parent.) For instance, if you feel the
support was equal (50/50), list information for the parent that
provided at least 51% (slightly more) of your support for the year. If
this parent is remarried as of today, answer the questions about
that parent and your stepparent.
If your widowed parent is remarried as of today, answer the
questions about that parent and your stepparent.

STEP FOUR: INCOME INFORMATION
PART A. EARNINGS
Notes for question 57 and 58 (page 3)
Question 57 and 62. Indicate whether you, your spouse, and/or your
parent(s) worked anytime from January 1, 2017 through December 31,
2017.
Question 58 and 63. Enter 2017 earnings (wages, salaries, tips, etc.), even
if a tax return was not filed. This information may be on the W-2 forms or
on the tax returns: 1040EZ—line 1, 1040A—line 7, or 1040—lines 7 + 12 +
18 + Box 14 (Code A) of IRS Schedule K-1 (Form 1065). If any individual
earning item on these tax forms is negative, do not include that item in
your calculation.
In order to accurately assess your financial situation, your institution
needs to account for all sources of income. In cases where your family’s
earnings from employment are at or above the IRS filing threshold
requirements, the financial aid office will require that you file taxes before
processing your TASFA. Tax filing requirements can be found in IRS
Publication 17, Table 1-1: Filing Requirements for Most Taxpayers. See
https://www.irs.gov/uac/About-Publication-17.
Nontax filers: If you (and your spouse) and/or your parent(s) did not meet
either of the IRS income filing thresholds, you will not be required to file
taxes for state financial aid purposes. However, you will need to provide a
breakdown of your living expenses and explain the sources of income that
you used to pay for those expenses. (See PART F. NONTAX FILERS)
