Submitting Financial Aid Documents

<p>I have two questions.
When sending our tax returns via fax, do we send only pages 1 and 2? Or is it the entire packet, which would be about ~30 pages? (Not including other documents like business info)</p>

<p>And also, I've received a request for the following:
Have your parent(s) submit the following information concerning their residence. If your parent(s) have sold their residence please submit a copy of the escrow closing statement showing sales price and mortgage, and provide an explanation of the use of the proceeds of the sale. The current market value of the residence is $____<strong><em>. The amount currently owed on the residence is $</em></strong><strong><em>. The residence was purchased in 19/20</em></strong><strong><em>. The purchase price was $</em></strong>______. (HMA.P)</p>

<p>What do I exactly have to submit? Would it be okay if I just submit the information that fill in the blanks?</p>

<p>...Anyone?</p>

<p>The pages 1 & 2 plus all the schedules and W-2s amount to about 30 pages? Are you sure? Are you including state tax returns?</p>

<p>No clue about the second part, though. If I were you, I'd print it out and fill in the blanks, then send int he supporting docs.</p>

<p>I have no idea... How long was yours? o_O</p>

5

<p>For my dad... two pages for the 1040, and three schedules, and W-2 was one page.</p>

<p>Then my mom, who's my NCP, was 10 pages.</p>

<p>Oh. OK, nvm. Maybe you had like 23583432 schedules, whatever those are.</p>

6

<p>1040, all schedules, all W-2s, are required, only Federal Return (not State).</p>

<p>Do not send 1099s.</p>

7

<p>Yeah, mine ended up being 14 pages. Nvm!</p>

8

<p>i sent mine in yesterday night and just checked my gateway..and the tax forms are still under the required portion....</p>

9

<p>would you only submit this if it is requested?</p>

10

<p>Confused_junior: It takes a while for them to clear it. I think I had to wait a week or so.</p>

11

<p>ok thanks. also if my parent's tax info has changed do i change it on the css too? i already changed it on the fafsa</p>

12

<p>Yeah, change it on CSS and mail it directly to USC, I believe.</p>

13

<p>ok..do you know if i can fax it so it's faster?</p>

<p>You could probably fax it. Call the FinAid Office and ask.</p>
