I am american citizen but have lived all my life in lahore. I recently applied for financail aid at tufts university and on idoc they are asking for my fathers W2 form but my father does not have a W2 form because we live in pakistan and he files taxes in pakistan. What should i submit instead of W2 form. PLS HELP!!!
If there is a similar form (employer reporting the wages to employee) submit that. Otherwise, you need to submit something similar that would explain wages - last pay stub of the year, a letter from employer, a copy of a pay stub.
IDOC also has a form called a “tax non filers certification form”. You complete this if you didn’t file a US tax return. On it you list other sources of income and then attach documentation, i.e. your Pakistan tax forms. If in doubt, call the financial aid office at the universities you are applying to.
