<p>Do you guys know what the SCHEDULE is? You have to mail in tax return, and W-2s, as well as SCHEDULE. Also do you have to mail in your OWN TAX RETURNS (even though I work at the library I don’t think I ever did my tax returns…). I have a W-2 though so I’m mailing that in.</p>
<p>Yes. You need to send in your tax returns if you made enough money at the library to have to file taxes.</p>
<p>Your schedule is the set of tax brackets that apply to your situation. If you file taxes:
As single you are Schedule X
As Married Filing jointly you are Schedule Y-1
As Married filing separately you are Schedule Y-2
As Head of Household you are Schedule Z.</p>
<p>These aren’t forms you need to complete, rather sets of data that applies to your situation.</p>
<p>It just means if your parents “claimed” you as a dependent (aka they pay for everything so they get a tax break). Most likely they claimed you Oo</p>
<p>I don’t understand how we could do this when we (and our parents) haven’t recieved our W-2 s from work yet…this is insane. My parents haven’t done their tax returns…what am I supposed to do, tell my step-father to do it in 2 days even though ti took him 2.5 weeks last year? This is compeltely ridiculous to expect it this early when almost NO ONE does their tax returns this early…I’m not even sure how one would…</p>
<p>@gashergina, turning in FA forms late will NOT affect admissions. they’re separate offices and don’t collaborate with each other. and the deadline simply means that it’s first come first serve- not that your form won’t get considered because it arrives a few days late.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if most financial aid application statuses are updated? I uploaded the Cornell FA application online before the due date, but never received a confirmation e-mail. I also faxed over the taxes. However, when I logged into my Cornell online account, it said both were still on my “To Do” list. Anyone else in the same boat?</p>
<p>I’d rather go to UChicago, and I got in there, so why should I do financial aid forms for Cornell? I applied RD, and I probably won’t get in anyway.</p>
<p>Why wasn’t I notified of this earlier? Aren’t we supposed to apply for financial aid closer to late February? The FAFSA only just came out.</p>
