Will investments made by my parents for their business effect how much i get from fafsa and cal grant?

Question

earlier i found out that i was supposed to get but UC Irvine had requested my parents tax return and a UCI dependent worksheet. i'm worried that as they review it they might think its weird that our income is about half of what we had last year since my parents invested a lot for their business.

is that odd? i need money otherwise i'll have to go to city college.

anyone have a similar experience?

Answer 1

it is a good chance you were selected for verification. in the meantime, you can test your theory about your parents business by going on the finaid calculator.
