Question

My parents filled had to fill 1040X 17. While filling fafsa I am confused about what form to follow bcuz fafsa didn’t ask me if my parents had to fill amendment for 17

I am not sure which form should I follow. Because A) 1040A indicates my parents filling status as married filling separately and we changed it to married filling jointly under 1040X B) My parents got EIC after filling Amendment. Moreover, if I follow 1040A, fafsa is giving me an error because I mentioned my parents status as married.

On the FAFSA you use the information from your parents' amended return, so you would say that their filing status was "Married - filed joint return." That might eliminate the error that you got. If you still get an error, you will have to look for help on the FAFSA web site. Here is a link to FAFSA help.
