<p>OK, Ive done CSS and sent those out to all my schools. I will do fasfa as soon as that comes out, and send those to all my schools. my question is about the extras. The 2005 and 2004 tax forms, W2, income tax, all those things that the school wants sent in extra. For instance, the 2005 doesn't come out for awhile right? Doesn't it not come out until february? Is that past the deadline or what? Also, should you just send everything all together, like should I send the 2004 with the 2005?</p>

<p>Most schools TELL you what to send and when. Check the website at the colleges and you should be able to find out the info. Obviously, you can't send your 2005 tax return until it is completed, but this should be done ASAP after receiving the W2 forms. February 1st is what you should be aiming for. When we initially applied for finaid for DS three years ago, we had to send the previous year's tax return with the initial application materials for finaid. The current tax return was due on Feb 15. That was for one school only. The others did not require the filing of tax returns at all. We did get selected for verification (have gotten that "honor" all three years) and have had to send our completed returns every year. You should send the schools what they want WHEN they say to send it...</p>
