IDOC- Required Docs

Paying for College
1

I’ve submitted my CSS profile, and the school I applied to requires parents’ W-2 and tax return and my w-2 and tax return. What is included in the tax return? Is it just the 1040 or the whole packet?

Also, I didn’t have any income for 2016, but the school is requesting my tax return. Ther’s an option if I didn’t file a tax return, but I have to provide supporting documents from my employer even though I don’t have one? I’m really confused.

Thank you!

Re the 1040/whole packet, you’ll want to include any docs that were submitted to the IRS as part of your tax return(s0.

Re no income/no employer, you’ll need to submit Profile’s ‘W-2 Substitution Form’ (it’s available for you to complete via your Profile ‘Student Portal’).
