Answer

You can make corrections indicating that you have a child by going to fafsa.gov and selecting "Make FAFSA Corrections". If you have childcare expenses, you may want to contact the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid and request a Cost of Attendance appeal. Learn more about the Cost of Attendance appeal.
