If the student will not file a tax return, the student should answer “Will Not File”. The student will then be taken to income earned from work, where he or she should enter any monies earned from a job that is listed as taxed on a W-2 form. The student should then answer only those income questions that apply to him or her from that point on.

If the student’s parents will not file a tax return, respond to “Have your parents filed a tax return?” the same way.
