<p>are tax forms needed?</p>
<p>Tax Forms are needed; as to date of submission call the Financial Aid office albeit note that Administration Offices will be closed tomorrow and perhaps for next couple of days due to the blizzard.</p>
<p>closed - that m/ have been why GC did not answer my emails.</p>
<p>I actually went out today to mail the tax forms and the GC app for FA and got in with one minute b4 the PO closed at 7pm to get that PM. i must be nutz.</p>
<p>but I did not include in the envelope the auth for the release of info form. was this also supposed to be included?</p>
<p>I spoke to their FA dept 1/31 and she said tax forms are not necessary (but their FA applic is). Their award will go out with admissions packages at end of March. Their FA award is technically preliminary, but then will be finalized when the 2010 tax forms and the deposit are submitted by their Deadline. I do not know about release of info form, but then we did all of this a couple of weeks ago, rather than have the stress, and risk, of last minute forms.</p>
