If I haven't sent in tax returns yet, am I screwed out of FA?

<p>I got into BC but I haven't received an aid package yet. Didn't realize that I never sent my parents tax returns. Will this affect my aid package? Same with Duke, I haven't heard back yet but their deadline was 3/15.</p>

<p>Do those schools require the tax returns as part of the application for their aid? If so, call them ASAP and ask them what to do.</p>

<p>Both schools probably already allotted most of their financial aid money to whoever submitted their FAFSA/Profile information before the deadline.</p>

<p>Do you mean that you haven’t completed the FAFSA/Profile? Or did you just not send in the actual copies of the tax returns? You should have received an aid package without the latter.</p>

<p>I have sent in my FAFSA and CSS Profile. However, the 1040 documents show up as incomplete in my FinAid apps</p>

<p>In that case, you shouldn’t worry too much. Call the financial aid offices ASAP.</p>
