OK so I submitted my CSS Profile yesterday and I got the IDOC confirmation thing. I logged in, and proceeded to check what documents I would need to send. Long story short, I found out that I only needed to input the details of my custodial parent (my mother). However, she isn’t employed, so I proceeded to fill out the Non tax form. For some reason, it’s asking for something called W2s and 1099 forms. I checked Google and from what I understand, these are tax returns? Can someone guide me as to what I should do here? Thanks!
W2 and 1099 are tax forms given by employers or payers who have paid any individual. W2 is for regular salary / wages. 1099 is for independent contractors. If no income, none of these would have been given. If income from any source, one (or some other tax forms such as 1098 etc) might have been given. Consult an adult, preferably an accountant.
