Your 2020-2021 FAFSA application has been identified by the U.S. Department of Education for potentially containing conflicting
information between your parent’s Marital Status and Tax Filing Status. Federal Regulations require that institutions verify the
accuracy of this data and to resolve any conflicting information.
According to the IRS, a tax payer must use a tax filing status of married filing jointly or married filing separately if they are married or
considered married on December 31, 2018. If you were “unmarried” or “considered unmarried” on December 31, 2018, the tax filing
status is single, or if you have a qualifying dependent you may file as head of household.
