If i worked and filed my income tax but used my parents income tax for financial aid instead of mine. ?

Question

what are the consequences? can fafsa find out?

Answer 1

Of course they will find out.  You need to go back and make the appropriate corrections.  Your application will also be selected for verification for inconsistent data.

Answer 2

Of course FAFSA will find out.

The information you put in is going to be verified through the IRS.  Both of these government agencies 'talk' to each other.

Why would you use your parents taxes as your own?  Was it a mistake or did you do it on purpose?

You need to go back into the FAFSA and make corrections now.

The consequences are varied; denial of financial aid, fraud charges, auditing from the IRS.
