<p>I applied for financial aid this year and was informed recently that I did not submit my tax returns from the school. I didn't do so because I got an email from the finaid office saying it wasn't required. Now the application is "late" and they no longer guarantee I will get anything. I was wondering if there was anything I could do or do I just need to wait. I don't really want to post any more information, so if you want to help, please PM me.</p>
<p>Are you talking about FAFSA? It sounds as if you were verified and they’re still waiting for the verification info. Send it to them asap - it’s generally a one page form and tax returns. You must do it to get Stafford loans or any other type of federal/state aid you might be eligible for.</p>
<p>The verification requests we received all came via mail. If you didn’t receive it, call and ask for a duplicate.</p>
<p>No. The school wanted a copy of my tax returns. I was told before that they didn’t. It has nothing to do with FAFSA</p>
<p>Yes, the school is the one that verifies your FAFSA info - every school is required by law to verify at least 1/3 of the FAFSA’s they receive every year. Some verify all of them. Tax returns are required for this.</p>
<p>Profile schools may also ask for tax return info for verifying Profile info…that’s what I was getting at.</p>
<p>In any case, you must comply with their request or forfeit your student aid.</p>
