I submitted my 2015-2016 FASFA yesterday. They estimated that my Expected Family Contribution (just me now that I'm 25) was $17,900 based on the $57,000 of taxable income I reported last year. The problem is that the income was from SF and they have no mechanism for adjusting for cost of living. They did ask me how much cash I had in the bank and how much I had in assets, but it didn't seem to affect their estimate. I haven't received the official response yet.
