<p>Do I need to include both tax documents and a bank statement? What is, essentially, a bank statement?</p>
<p>A bank statement of an account that shows that you have sufficient fund to pay for the first year of the college.
I believe that bank statements will do, if you have enough in the bank to pay for tuition. If not, attach the tax statement as well.</p>
<p>As I understand it the bank statement should only corroborate the amount that has been written under "savings" in the application. That right?</p>
<p>You can (and most probably should) send more than one document - here they just aks you to specify wich documents you will be sending.
Bank statement shows how much money your family has on their account.
If you are applying for finaid the account does not have to have sufficient amout to cover the first year, though it might....</p>
<p>That cleared things up. Thanks, manyzhka.</p>
