<p>If our tax documents arrive late through IDOC, will I be penalized? I'm an SCEA admit from Taiwan, and our tax forms are very different from U.S. ones, as are our tax filing deadlines. (Most of our W-2 forms and other tax information won't be received by us till April or May.) Also, does Stanford accept 2005 tax forms for review?</p>
<p>Thank you very much for any input and advice.</p>
<p>I can't help you with advice, but I'd like to hear about this as well. We won't be able to get ours in by the deadline either (living in Oman), but I can't really say I'm worried. When my sister started at Cornell, my dad didn't get his financial aid stuff in until 4 months after the deadline or so...he just wrote them a letter saying he was overseas and couldn't get certain things in until such and such a date, and they were perfectly fine with it.</p>
<p>Thank you for your input, skatearabia. I hope things will go smoothly for both of us! :)</p>
<p>Any other advice or past experience? Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>I just found out the answer to my question. I emailed Stanford, and they said that I should send in a signed estimation of what my parents are expected to earn in 2006. It doesn't have to be very official. I won't be penalized if I send in the forms late, but I will receive notification of my award later than usual.</p>
<p>Hope this helped, skaterarabia!</p>
