<p>My D is applying for many private scholarships from around the country. A few are requiring a copy of our tax returns. I can understand the need, but this makes me a little nervous. Should we just black out our SS numbers? They also want a copy of her SAR which automatically blacks out her # when it prints.</p>
<p>Yes, I would black out her SSN on the forms. Some applications even ask you to do so.</p>
