Tax return forms? (Finaid question)

<p>In order to apply for financial aid we have to submit signed W-2 forms... Does anybody know if we have to mail them in or if we can scan/email or fax them in? And if you mail them in how does the finaid office match the forms up with the student? </p>

<p>Thanks :)
I tried calling but I'm on PST so their office is always closed by the time I have time to call and my parents are leaving on a trip soon so I need the information like.. now ><;</p>

<p>You send in a signed copy of your federal tax return, usually form 1040. If parents are employees, then the w-2 forms should be included. You send in copies of the return and the w-2, the originals goto the IRS. Write the student’s name and college ID# across the top of each page of the tax return.</p>

<p>You can email the financial aid office a scanned copy of the return + the W-2 with your name on it. Since you are not a student there yet, use the id# they have assigned to you. The best format is to send it as an encrypted pdf file.</p>

<p>If you chose to use the FAX, here’s the number also. Snail mail also works.</p>

<p>mail to: Office of College Aid, University of Chicago, 1101 E. 58th St., Chicago IL 60637</p>

<p>fax to: 773.834.4300</p>
