(I’m trying to find the answer to this for my sister (her son is a senior in high school). Because my youngest is a college senior, I have no College Board internal access this year and can’t look at the instructions and haven’t had success finding an answer by using Google.) Uploading documents will be difficult for her because she has only paper copies of her tax forms and doesn’t have a scanner. Thank you in advance.

Submitting Paper Documents by Mail
What do I need to do?
Print a copy of your IDOC Cover Sheet. You must print it as a one page document.
Assemble a packet consisting of your Cover Sheet and one legible copy of each of the Required Documents listed on the Dashboard. Some of the documents are available on this site by clicking on the links to the right.
Mail one packet to the address on the Cover Sheet. All of your participating college(s) and program(s) will have access to the documents in your packet that they have requested.
When is my IDOC packet due?
Please see each institution’s deadline on the Document Management Dashboard. Colleges and programs may publicize a different date on their website or in communications to you. If this date is different than the dashboard, you should submit your documents by that date to ensure that you meet their specific dates and requirements.
What Documents Are Required?
Your required documents are listed on the Document Management Dashboard.
IDOC Cover Sheet
Your IDOC Cover Sheet is necessary to guarantee that your material will be processed correctly. The Cover Sheet must be a legible one side of one-page document that is not damaged in any way that would prevent it from going through the document scanning process. We suggest that you print the Cover Sheet at your printer’s highest resolution to ensure the most efficient processing.
Verify or enter the Social Security Number (SSN) or Canadian Social Insurance Number (SIN) for the student, each parent submitting documents, and for the student’s spouse, if applicable. Blank or incorrect SSNs/SINs can seriously delay processing of the student’s financial aid application.
Packet Completion Checklist
Your Cover Sheet is on a single sheet of paper.
One legible copy of each of the required documents is included.
The SSN/SIN (if applicable) is correct on the Cover Sheet for each person submitting documents.
The SSN/SIN (if applicable) for the document owner (student, parent, spouse) is in the upper right corner of each document submitted.
All appropriate tax documents are signed.
Each document is copied on the front side of a separate 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of white paper. Copies must be full sized - no reduction or enlargement.
If submitting W-2s each form from each employer is copied on a separate 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of white paper. Do not copy more than one W-2 form on a single sheet of paper.
You copied the front and back of any document (especially tax forms) that has two sides.
You included one copy of each of your required documents (including all W-2’s, schedules, and corporate or partnership returns) in one packet. Do not send the requested information to the College Board in multiple mailings. Do not send duplicate packets. Do not send duplicate documents. Only information from the noncustodial parent, if requested, may be submitted separately with a separate Cover Sheet.
You clearly provided your name and return address on the envelope. This address may be used to follow up with you about your packet materials.
You sent your packet to one the following addresses. Do not send your packet to another College Board address. It will delay the processing of your information.
