Answer
If your parents live out of the country, you will still need to include them on the FAFSA.
On the FAFSA you will select " Foreign Country" from the dropdown menu that asks about the parents' state of legal residence.
In the tax information section, you’ll have the opportunity to indicate that they have filed their taxes. Then, when the FAFSA form asks whether your parents filed a Puerto Rican or foreign tax return, select “Yes." You will need to convert the amounts on the foreign tax return into U.S. dollars as directed by the FAFSA help.
