Financial Aid (Dumb Question)

[Dimbulb]

Embarrassingly enough, I lost my job last year and did not file taxes.  I'll concede this is inexcusable and am contacting the IRS Wednesday however, I wanted to know if I am able to apply for any financial aid for grad school since I cannot prove a need.

 

I am a spring applicant and getting a bit worried.

 

Thanks in advance!

If you didn't earn enough to file, that in itself qualifies as demonstrating need. I have filled them out in years I did not file taxes and it was no problem. You just choose the "will not file" option and it asks you questions from there.
