We have applied thru RD. We received the IDOC notification asking for “Federal Tax Form and 1099” along with few other forms. Deadline is Mar 2nd. It is not clear whether we MUST send 2014 Federal Tax Return OR would it be OK to send the 2013 Tax Return. I am afraid our 2014 returns would be ready by Mar 2nd. Thank you for your response.
If you read the financial aid section for regular decision applicants the 2014 income tax forms are due by April 1, 2015 through the IDOC: http://financialaid.stanford.edu/undergrad/apply/new.html
Hope this helps.
Thank you for the response. That gives us some relief. We received this IDOC request for both Harvard and Stanford. The IDOC says clearly the “EARLIEST DEADLINE” as Mar 2nd. However it failed to say what does “EARLIEST” mean? Also failed to say on what the “FINAL DEADLINE” is. Because our understanding(thus we planned that way) is that once we filed the CSS profile with 2013 taxes on time, we have enough time until Apr 2015 to send the 2014 taxes.
“Earliest” means the earliest deadline one of the schools that you applied to needs these documents. Some may need it later, but at least one needs yours by March 2.
Your responses are very helpful to us. As @gravitas2 mentioned Stanford office said the LATEST DEADLINE as Apr 1st. Thank you all.
