In order to receive financial aid, does my father have to file a federal tax report?

My dad no longer works because he’s going to be retired in a few years. All he really does is manage a few cattle. His CPA told him it wasn’t worth filing a tax return this year, but I was wondering if that was going to hurt my chances of getting financial aid? I already did FAFSA and I just got back a form from the college I’m going to attend, Arkansas Tech University, to verify stuff. and one of my friends told me if he hadn’t filed than I wasn’t going to get any money back….. but I don’t know if they know what they’re talking about.

can i file my own taxes if i am already a dependent on my parents taxes?

i have already been accepted to a college in AR, however my parents do not want me to go out of state for college, and now are refusing to send their tax papers there, is there any type of financial aid that i can get without my parents taxes, and if not what other options do i have?
