Hey, all.
I really need some help. By tomorrow (or maybe even today), my parents want me to fill out the remainder of the FAFSA and they want to me either:
a) exclude my fathers IRS tax forms completely and just use my mothers
b) use my sisters taxes instead
I've tried explaining to them that it is fraud but they're well aware and still think it's the 'best thing to do.' My parents made over one hundred thousand last year but it's all gone due to spending, so, they actually can't pay for my college, but it still doesn't mean lying is ok.
I spoke to my sister about it and she said to just let them do it and let them take the consequences, but, I have to personally sign all the information on it, so, I'd also be liable, especially since I, you know, actually know about what they want to do.
I don't know what I can do. I really want to go to college but I am just toying with the idea of not sending the FAFSA form in and then just telling them I was denied - I do need the aid but I can't get it with my parents and can't qualify was independent either.
Is there any information on what I could do in this situation? Perhaps moving out?
Thanks a lot. I'm really upset so sorry if this didn't make a ton of sense.
