<p>On my Boston University ApplicantLink it says that my Financial Aid application is incomplete. I never received a letter that asked for any further information.
The site says:During our review of the information you reported on your financial aid application, we identified specific elements that require further documentation or clarification. </p>
<p>Did anyone else get this? Do you think it would effect the amount i get now, since everyone already has received their amount? This is so annoying, because the amount determines which school I go to. I’m gonna call tomorrow and see what they want.</p>
<p>BU requires income verification in the form of signed copies of tax returns and w2 forms. However, they never “ask” for this, it’s just listed on the financial aid page. I’m not sure how it would effect aid, but I’d get it in asap.</p>
<p>You have to do the collegeboard IDOC where you sent copies of your taxes and stuff. Don’t sent those things directly to the financial aid office. Don’t forget to send the FAFSA and CSS Profile too.</p>
<p>Wait, everyone was required to send in income verification, or only some cases? Did everyone who got a FA amount send it in? I already sent in CSS and Fafsa</p>
<p>I thought the process was that in May you had to send in all your tax returns and forms, after you get an amount…</p>
<p>Yeah i got the same too! But I sent in everything. They keep asking for Tax forms, but my mom didn’t file for taxes! I am super confused. (she didn’t file because she made almost nothing) I sent in her W-2 Form, which was all we had for income verification. I don’t know what to do. I already emailed them and I am going to call tomorrow. =/</p>
<p>You guys are not supposed to send them to the financial aid office. Send them through the IDOC. If you and your parents don’t file taxes, there’s a form for that on the IDOC.</p>

<p>I understand that i have to use the IDOC. Wait, but can someone tell me if i was supposed to send in verification with my Fafsa and CSS…?</p>
<p>No, they ask it for you later after you’ve submitted the FAFSA and CSS.</p>
<p>No everyone is wrong. Bu doesn’t require IDOC!</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.bu.edu/finaid/pdfs/incomeverification.pdf[/url]”>http://www.bu.edu/finaid/pdfs/incomeverification.pdf</a>
it specifically says at the bottom to send it to the school.</p>
<p>Yeah, I sent it to the school directly. And they didn’t ask me, I just did it after I sent in my FAFSA and CSS Profile.</p>
<p>I only had to do IDOC for Johns Hopkins, BU didn’t come up on my collegeboard account.</p>
i got the same message, does anyone know if this affected merit based aid or just need based?
