Instructions for filling out the form
Note: If your legal parents are not married to each other, answer the questions based on the parent who will provide more than 50 percent of your support from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025.
List all people that should be included in your parent’s family size, starting with yourself. You should include your parent, his or her spouse (if married), and any children or dependents living in the home if your parent will provide more than half of their support from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025.
If your parent pays child support for a child, do not include that child in your family size.
