Idoc tax confusion?

Paying for College
1

<p>Okay so it's Friday Feb. 26 and I am a bit confused about the March 1st deadline for the IDOC tax forms this week. </p>

<p>1)When I log onto my IDOC account under the "which schools require my information" tab. It states that only Brown, Yale, and Columbia require my IDOC tax form out of the 9 privates that I applied to but when I look at my other schools for example Northwestern university, their IDOC deadline is 3/5/13 but they have not contacted me about the taxes nor are they listed in the tab that showcases the schools that require my information in the IDOC account page. So should I ignore The other schools that are not listed and have not contacted me either?</p>

<p>--> Another example would be the University of Southern California (USC). Although USC is not on the IDOC web page, they still contacted me so I can send them my taxes electronically. However, should I just send the 2011 to abide by their deadline and then send the 2012 when it's ready; or just pass the deadline altogether and send the 2012 taxes?</p>

<p>2) As I have said, my 2012 tax forms are not ready yet because my father has to wait for his employers to hand him the official documents which probably won't happen this week. So if I were to send my tax forms this week via IDOC should I just send the 2011 Ones and later send the 2012 ones?</p>

<p>3) Some of the 3 schools contradict each other with their directions so how should as go about the tax sending? For example, Brown university does NOT want 2011 and wants me to just send the 2012 even if it's later than 3/11/13, but Yale just expects the 2012 by 3/15/13. Also Columbia has a deadline of 3/1/13 my 2012 taxes won't be ready yet, so on the website they suggest to simply send the 2011 taxes individually to their office NOT IDOC with their specific cover sheet.
Basically!!! ---->So how should I handle the college situation some want me to send 2012 later and not send 2011 and what not but I am really tempted to just send 2011 via IDOC and then just send my 2012 taxes via IDOC when their ready which will most likely be in a week or two. </p>

<p>Thank you for your patience and understanding!
Cheers! From an aspiring high school senior.</p>

<li>You have to read the fine lines about FA application of each college to send them what they need. Some of them are not clear but you need to comb through. You should ask your parents to help. Next year will be easier because you will deal with only 1 school.</li>
<li>It does not seem right that employers send tax doc later than 2/15.</li>
<li>Complete the forms and send them what you have first by deadlines. Send what you don’t have later. Colleges may understand and accept late doc.</li>
