How screwed am I?

Paying for College

<p>I missed the deadlines to send out my 2011 tax forms to some of the schools I applied to. The deadlines were all mostly Feb 1st, and tomorrow is two weeks past that. Furthermore, some schools are asking for 2012 forms by tomorrow, but it's impossible for my parents to fill them out at the given time (I couldn't have planned for it either), so what should I do?</p>

<p>I family's really not in good financial standing, so this could be disastrous to me if I don't get in the documents I need.</p>

<p>The one school I’ve spoken to said that late submission of tax forms would delay, but not prevent, a financial aid award. I am guessing that many other schools have the same policy . . . but it’s best to check with each school to find out for sure.</p>

<p>You can be sure that your family isn’t the only one that won’t have their 2012 taxes completed by tomorrow!</p>
