Okay so my dad was unemployed for about half of 2015. He received unemployment benefits for the other half. The AGI shown on my tax return forms includes his unemployment benefits, but when the FAFSA asks for his working income, it doesn't ask me to add up the space on the tax return where his unemployment benefits are written. When I include my dad's benefits, my parents' incomes add up exactly to the AGI. But when I add what the FAFSA asks me to add, it doesn't add up to the AGI. My question is, should I add his unemployment benefits to his specific income or not? Can I have some kind of phone number I can reach too if no one can answer my question? FAFSA has pretty bad customer service...thank you :)
