The final version of the 2005 IRS 1040EZ form changed the 1040EZ instructions and worksheet for determining number of exemptions. Because of this IRS change, the current 2006-2007 FAFSA instructions for question 37 and question 75 are incorrect. The correct instructions for questions 37 and 75 are identified in this announcement.
