[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A very few private schools give you merit aid to fill out the form- not sure why but they do. Otherwise total waste of time and invasive. You will get nothing.[/quote]

What do people mean here when they say invasive? Why are they bothered by this?[/quote]

They have a lot of very unusual income streams they don’t want anyone reporting to the IRS.

CSS schools can and will audit. Serious risk the FAFSA/CSS and the 1040 don’t match.

The President of the United States releases his tax returns publicly.

What the hell does "The President of the United States releases his tax returns publicly." mean?  
Sure they do (well majority do).  They are running for public office.

My kid isn't running for public office.  I'm not running for public office.  Outside of the IRS knowing my tax returns (which are legal---normal income streams, nothing to hide), I don't feel the need for multiple universities and FAFSA (whatever dept that is within the fed govt) to know my financials.  It is not their business, it's not relevant.  As long as I pay my kid's U bills that's all that matters.

You however are free to release your tax returns publicly to the NYTimes and all media outlets if you so desire (doubt they want to see them). [/quote]
