I'm trying to apply for financial aid through the Free Application For Student Aid (FAFSA), and my dad doesn't want to give out sensitive information such as what's located on his income tax returns (I would be a dependent student). Where exactly does this information go, and who's going to be looking at it?|||It is sent to the Central Processing Center for the Department of Education. Real people don't actually look at it... it's gathered and processed by computers, I'm sure, which analyze it for accuracy and then the info is sent to the schools you say you are interested in attending.
To ease your Dads mind a bit, you might tell him that he gives out more personal information about himself (that is actually sold to outside sources) by filling out one of those free drawing cards at a state fair or by giving a sales man his info when looking at buying a car.
The DoE does not give out any personal information about you or him to anyone except the schools you list on your fafsa.
Hope it helps.
