IDOC and their BS

<p>Stanford requires the IDOC for financial aid information. However, my parents do not plan to file their tax return until the very last moment; they refuse to do it prior to the Apr 1 deadline for personal reasons.</p>

<p>"A completed signed copy of your parents' 2005 federal income tax return, including all required Schedules and all Partnership or Corporate returns, is required if your parents filed or will file a tax return in 2005"</p>

<p>Well, my parents will file, but how can I give these not-yet-existant documents to IDOC? Anyone deal with this before? IDOC will not accept an incomplete application. Everything has to be there according to their FAQ.</p>

<p>Perhaps I should just call Stanford Financial Aid and explain the situation.</p>

<p>Oh happy day, they apparently changed the IDOC submission date!</p>

<p>Submit parent tax statements, schedules, and W-2s from previous year to CSS for electronic transmission to Stanford (IDOC)</p>

<pre><code>April 15
</code></pre>

<p>I could have sworn it was March 15 a few hours ago. I wonder if adcom/financial aid are reading these posts. O.o</p>

<p>I don't even know how to sign on to IDOC... are we supposed to send our forms to CSS without CSS asking for them? I never got an email, or mail for that matter, about us having to send in our forms for IDOC. Did you receive an IDOC ID?</p>

<p>You have to fill out your CSS Profile first; an e-mail or some screen will tell you that you need to submit your IDOC, and will provide an IDOC ID number to use to sign onto the IDOC website.</p>

<p>Yea, I filled out my CSS Profile, but I never received the email to obtain the IDOC ID... I guess I'll just email them and see.</p>
