This includes yourself, your parents (including a stepparent if applicable), any siblings, and others living with your parents who receive more than half of their support. Include the college names for household members attending school at least half time.

If no, fill out the income information table and attach any required W-2 forms, noting 'NONE' for no income.
7. Repeat the data retrieval tool process for your spouse or parent, ensuring all necessary fields are completed correctly similar to the previous step.
