A mystery that college financial aid paperwork expects me to answer to complete application. It must be in my filing entries, right? But the bank says I only had $4.00 interest income. ??
for such a tiny amount, just say "Savings account".
Yeah, that's what I was inclined to do, but there are multiple warnings that the entries must be the same as the return, which College Board can access. It doesn't show a source of the interest, only an amount different than the credit union says we earned. Penalty for inaccuracy includes delays in processing. Oh well. It's only money! Thanks for your quick response.
What idiots those college financial aid fools are ... making a fuss over $4 ??? Save a PDF of the return which includes all the worksheets to see where the interest came from ... if you had a K-1 form it may have come from that.
Here's how to view and download your prior-year returns. You can access returns for the past seven years.
Sign in to your TurboTax account. Make sure you're using the same TurboTax account (same user ID) as in prior years.
There are two ways to get your prior-year returns.
Note: If the year you're looking for isn't there, it might be in a different account. Go here to find all of your accounts. One of them should have the return you're looking for

I have a copy of the return already, and have combed through it in search of the "investment" that produced the $8.00. I'm sure the financial aid form is just a program that indicates an issue when you enter the details, then forces the applicant to correct an "oversight" after all the entries are completed when you review the form. I sure appreciate your advice, thanks again.
