Thank FAFSA form could use some simplification.

I never actually filled one out as I paid out of pocket for all my childrens education, but my girls mentioned horror stories about friends trying to fill them out. One of my daughters friends needed the last 3 or so years of tax forms from parents to file, oops parents hadn’t filed taxes in 7 or 8 years. She was not able to apply and had to take out student loans at a much higher interest rate because of this. Even though she was 19 she still needed her parents returns when she had not lived with them for over a year and a half, she was living with her grandparents her last few years of high school. Others the parents made too much and would not help pay, but they were also not able to get the cheaper student loans because of the parents income.
