CSS Profile for Rhodes College: HELP!

<p>I cannot figure out which CSS Profile I need to fill out for Rhodes. The deadline is the 15th because I am a Bonner Scholarship candidate, and I cannot get in touch with anyone in the financial aid office. Does anyone know which profile I am supposed to fill out?</p>

<p>What do you mean, which one? I wasn’t aware there was more than one.</p>

<p>Fill out the one for 2012-2013. Hope that answers your question</p>

<p>If it’s for money for the 2012-2013 school year, you fill out the 2012-2013 Profile.</p>

<p>Ok. Do I need my 2011 tax return to fill it out?</p>

<p>You can estimate 2011 numbers. That’s what you have to do if CSS is due before you are able to do your taxes.</p>

<p>Yes - estimate the best you can with the last pay stubs of the 2011 year. Or if income is the same as last year you could use last years (2010) tax return.</p>

<p>Hmm, ok. My parent’s income is drastically different this year. The early action deadline for Rhodes CSS Profile is January 1st, so I was thinking maybe they want 2010?</p>

<p>Nope. They want an estimate for the 2011 income. Most of the info that you need is on your parents (and your if you have a job) final paystubs from December, and in your December bank statements. All of the federal tax forms and instructions that you might need are online at [Internal</a> Revenue Service](<a href=“http://www.IRS.gov%5DInternal”>http://www.IRS.gov)</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>They want you to do a Profile (and FAFSA) using the BEST POSSIBLE ESTIMATES for your 2011 tax year. Your parents should have that information on their last pay stubs of the year. Do the BEST possible estimates.</p>

<p>All right. This is very confusing because my dad is self-employed and is in a partnership. Thank you for all of your help.</p>
