CSS profile -- savings vs. investments

Financial Aid/Scholarships

Hello, already posted this to financialaid but I figured some people here might also have some insight. My dad has a savings account along with his checking account and accumulated some interest on it, which triggered a flag when I was ready to submit my application because now it wants me to say we have investments. Wouldn't I be double-reporting this money if I report both the money in the savings account in the total and in the investments? What should I put for the market value of this savings account?
