<p>One of the colleges my d was accepted to requires their own FA form to be submitted by 2/7. This also includes submitting the 2007 Tax returns. Since I have not even received my W2's yet, there is no way my accountant can have my tax returns ready before 2/7.</p>
<p>I will call the college on Monday, but has anyone else had to deal with a situation like this? A 2/7 deadline for completed 2007 taxes seems unrealistic by any means.</p>
<p>Thanks for any advice.</p>
<p>W-2s are supposed to be out by 1/31 at the latest, check with your employer about the delay too.
The college may take last years tax forms by the 2/7 deadline (and you can send this years as soon as you are done) but you are wise to call.
It is not that unusual. I always did my taxes in April but since the kids have started college, I now do them in Feb. (although next year your kid will likely have a later deadline for finaid forms as a returning student.)</p>
<p>Submit the FAFSA and the Profile (if you need to) using estimates. Then complete your taxes ASAP and amend them with the correct figures.</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies. I received the W2's in today's mail. Will overnight everything to my accountant on Monday and will call the college, & submit their form with 2007 W2's only for now & 2006 tax returns. I'm sure they will be understanding. I've already submitted my CSS & FAFSA & will forward the 2007 taxes as soon as they are done.</p>
<p>Ah...I see now. You've done the FAFSA and Profile but need to get the school's form done. Well...do call them. BUT remember that they have deadlines for a reason. </p>
<p>Check any other colleges to which your daughter applied for any other looming deadlines too.</p>
