This question is from Worksheet C of the paper FAFSA.

Enter the total amount of taxable earnings your parents received in 2007 from Federal Work-Study or other need-based work programs such as fellowships and assistantships.

Federal Work-Study is income earned from work. This income should appear on your parents' W-2 form and should be reported as wages in questions 82-83, whether or not your parent is a tax filer. Do not worry about reporting Work-Study income in both places. The amounts from Worksheet C are treated differently in the EFC calculation, and your parents will not be penalized.

Round to the nearest dollar and do not use commas or decimal points.
