FAFSA Form Review - Courtesy Notice

Foreign Earned Income Matches Adjusted Gross Income

On your FAFSA, you, your spouse, or your parent(s) provided an amount under the “Foreign Earned Income Exclusion” that is identical to the amount listed for the “Adjusted Gross Income.”

It’s uncommon for these numbers to match up exactly.

What You Need to Know:

  • To ensure the accuracy of these responses, we strongly encourage you and/or your contributor(s) to review the FAFSA to confirm the amounts provided.
  • If the amount listed under either item is incorrectly reported, please make the necessary correction(s) and submit the updated FAFSA.

What You Need to Know:

  • This notification is only sent as a courtesy. Action on your part is optional.

  • If you find any mistakes in the amounts, make the necessary correction(s) and submit the updated FAFSA.
