FAFSA ON THE WEB WORKSHEET:SECTION 3 - PARENTAL INFORMATION, (Q77) SECTION 4 - STUDENT FINANCES, (Q33) WHAT INCOME TAX RETURN DID YOU / YOUR PARENTS FILE FOR 2007?

77 / 33

A tax return for Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Island, the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, or Palau

Reference: Web – On Line: “US Territory / Freely Associated State”

Since in Puerto Rico we do not file Federal Taxes and we only have two Tax forms (Short and Long Form) we do not have an equivalent to the 1040A or 1040EZ.

The Long form reflects in its appropriate schedules all information that are required in the1040A or 1040EZ
