<p>on the cover sheet it has a list of documents... how do you know which ones you are supposed to send?</p>
<p>Different schools need different forms. It should say which ones your schools need in the accompanying letter.</p>
<p>Usually you send the first two pages of your and your parents 2005 income tax return 1040. Also a copy of your and your parents W-2 forms, all on different sheets of paper. Do not forget to include the cover letter as well. GL.</p>
<p>We were told to send the entire 2005 tax return including schedules A and B if we completed them. All W-2 forms also had to be submitted for both parents and students. Everything needs to be copied on 8 1/2 x 11 inch paper with only one item on each sheet. The cover sheet for the IDOC must be sent also with all the items sent bubbled in on the sheet. My impression was that you sent in anything that applied to you that appeared on that sheet.</p>
<p>If the tax return includes an item listed on the cover sheet then you send it. There are often misc worksheets attached to the return which you are not expected to send. Go through the return page by page and see if the doc is listed on the cover sheet. If yes, send it. If no, you may have to make sure it's not something critical. Call the school.</p>
