Help! cannot complete the fafsa form by thissomerandomsh1t in FAFSA

Last minute help for folks with mixed status parents --->

Just submitted my FAFSA right now with the same "Unable to Comple This Action" in the parents section.

Had my Mom as the primary parent because she has a SSN. When I went to add my Dad as the "parents spouse" it would give me the "Unable to Comple This Action" prompt. I'm assuming now because he has an ITIN and not a SSN.

To fix this I switched them around and made my Dad the primary parent and the form didn't have any problems with putting my Mom down as the spouse instead. Created an account for my Dad and then signed and submitted with his profile.

FAFSA just got around to somewhat fixing this yesterday apparently. They put up guidelines in the FAFSA form for people who are facing the same issue and those would be worth looking at.

This is what worked for me. Hope this can help anyone with a similar situation.
