Your adjusted gross income can not be the same amount as your "Income tax Paid" because this would mean all the money you earned would go straight to the government in taxes. The amount of income tax paid would come off your income tax form. Look on the line number of your tax form the fafsa website specifies. YOU MUST DO THIS EXACTLY as I have stated.

Because "Income tax paid" is NOT the amount you paid into the government at the end of the year if you owed and it is NOT the amount of tax that was withheld from your earnings.
