<p>I started working on my financial aid, and only a few days I noticed that Vassar wanted our tax returns, etc. by January 1. It didn't even occur to me that they'd want that earlier than the FAFSA. I was thinking I would just have it in by February 1, since that's when most of my other financial aid stuff is due and I will have everything compiled, as it's quite late already anyway. </p>
<p>What do you think?</p>
<p>fedex it in</p>
<p>I did the same thing ShanFan, and was also wondering how this will impact financial aid packages. I already sent them all of my other forms (Profile, FAFSA, ect), but I'm not sure how this'll impact us.</p>
<p>How can you send your tax returns in by January 1st, when you haven't even gotten your W-2s yet? My accountant will not even do the taxes without those. I called Vassar, and they told me that all was due in April.</p>
<p>It's the 2006 tax forms that they are talking about. The financial aid deadlines page on the website says Vassar wants the 2006 form by Jan. 1 for RD. We had to submit them even earlier for ED.</p>
<p>What happens when you forget to send them in with your app? I just realized that I made this mistake as well, and phoned the finaid office...but they've all already left for the day...</p>
<p>Why would they want this particular part of the package so soon anyhow?</p>
<p>I think it was probably more important for the ED and EDII applicants. For RD applicants the 2007 tax form is probably more important, so it might not be a big deal as long as you meet the FAFSA and CSS deadlines.</p>
<p>Yeah, I think I'm going to make sure they get it by Feb. 1, along with FAFSA and CSS. I emailed them and they told me just to have it in as soon as possible.</p>
