IDOC tax return confusion - lost, confused, please help

  1. What qualifies as a “signed” tax return? I’m an international student, if that’s relevant here, and my father’s tax returns don’t have spaces for signatures. Am I supposed to just get him to sign a random part of the first page or is there a broader definition for “signed”?

  2. Northwestern says “Write the student’s full name and ID number on each document.” So, and I know this is a dumb question, but please bear with me because my brain has been fried trying to wrestle with the requirements for 19 colleges, this means that I need separate scans of my tax returns with Northwestern-specific info (my ID) on them, right?

  3. There’s IDOC, then there’s the sending of documents directly to universities. Is there any advice you’d like to give me here?

  4. I uploaded my father’s already-English 2018 tax return to IDOC a couple days ago but then the signing thing confused me, and it’s being processed and IDOC won’t let me take it down.

Thank you for your help. I will be grateful for any and all advice that is sent my way, because quite frankly, I am freaking out
