<p>MIT specifically asks me to send in a 2009 Income Tax Return. A few problems arise from this point.</p>
<p>In my IDOC account, it says I need to submit three things. One of which is a W-2 form? What is it? I can only find a W-2S form.</p>
<p>Is it okay if I only submit the 2009 Income Tax Return, as it said?</p>
<p>Also, the fiscal year of Hong Kong ends in March 31 2010 which is still far away. What do I submit then?</p>
<p>I'm an international.</p>
<p>I called them up and they said we don’t have to file it through IDOC for international students. Either scan and send them your forms or post it to them. See this page for details:

<p>MrPropaPanda is Canadian.</p>
<p>P.S to MrPanda: You should call them, or post you inquiry at their blog: <a href=“http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/finaid/financial_aid/deadlineish.shtml[/url]”>http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/finaid/financial_aid/deadlineish.shtml</a></p>
<p>oh then you have to file it through IDOC</p>
<p>
I don’t know if this helps, but in the US tax system, a W-2 is a form that lists the wages a person was paid over the course of the year, plus how much was already withheld for taxes.</p>
<p>I’m a Canadian yes. But my parents have never worked in Canadian land. So does it still apply? Thanks for all the info though. I’m reading them now.</p>
<p>Canadian is not international? O.o This is confusing.</p>
<p>Not really. Canadian applicants must follow the same instruction as the American applicants if it comes to financial aid.</p>
<p>But I only resided in Canada. I didn’t receive any income from Canada. So what exactly will I need to do?</p>
<p>What country are you a citizen of?</p>
<p>From MIT Financial Aid Website:
“The steps and deadlines for applying for undergraduate financial aid vary depending on your enrollment status and citizenship.”
Enrollment status = Freshman / Transfer
Citizenship = US citizens, permanent residents or Canadian citizen / Int’l
So if your citizenship is Canadian, you must follow the instruction for Canadian. If not, int’l. Should there be any problem, you should contact the Financial Aid Office :)</p>
<p>I’m a Hong Kong, Canadian, Chinese, Korean, French citizen. But no American. I only worked in Hong Kong.</p>
<p>So which one did you choose to fill in the application?</p>
<p>Is that even legal?</p>
<p>Canadian. Because it provided me with the State I resided in even the form asked me 7 times where I came from - Hong Kong. It still doesn’t give me the option of saying Hong Kong. I was forced to choose British Columbia. =.= So you see…</p>
<p>So you have to complete the financial aid application as a Canadian citizen, I’m afraid. Anyway you should contact the Office and explain the situation.</p>
