I’m filling out my FAFSA and it’s asking my total savings.. but it says not to include financial aid. Do I include money received from loans?

I was audited wtih the IRS recently, about 6 months ago, haven’t been able to resolve it, and I owe them around $23,000. It’s so scary.

I want to start college courses, to obtain my bachelor’s which will cost aroune $41,000. I am applying for financial aid, but will it be denied because of the IRS problem?

Thanks for your thoughtful replies.

Basically, with my financial aid refund (leftovers after tuiton), I had roughly $3,000 which I then used to replace my PoS car and bought a used car. This was last year (2008) do I have to do anything when filing my taxes this year?

Refund was provided to me via check and I was told I could do whatever I wanted w/ it including living expenses. Do I have to include this in this years tax return, and how?

Ok this is my problem I am wanting to file for finacial aid for fall semester and my mother will not give me her fedral forms so I can complete the financial aid application she always says that they should not need my tax forms because I do not live with her and that I am an adult. So I call the financial aid office at my local community college and had them explain why they need her taxes. So after they explained to her why I then preceeded to ask her my I please have your tax forms so I can complete my financial aid application and she said well you dont even have a job to support you, remember college doesn’t start until August, and I know I will find a job by then. Then she was like why don’t you get a job before completing the application and I try to explain to her that you have to file in advance in order to ensure that everything will be completed before the semester starts. So she didn’t want to hear that and started to say leave me alone and quit borthering me about it.
Now I have been trying to get her tax forms to complete the application since early may and still she will not give me them. I don’t know what it is if she doesn’t want me to get an eduacation or what but it is making me feel like I should just not college but I am and I am determined to embark on this endeaver to prove to myself that I can do it and throw it in my parents face because they always said I was going to be nothing and its time to get revenge
