<p>Could anyone tell me what documents should someone send if his parents have been unemployed two years so far?
My parents are not employed and they don't file tax returns , but the schools say my financial Aid application is not complete as they need me to send the tax returns? Thank you for any help</p>
<p>You do not have to send tax returns if they are not required to file taxes. Call the school and ask if they have a non-tax filer form for your parents to complete.</p>
<p>Great! Thank you very much for your quick and helpful reply</p>
<p>
Your parents could file tax returns even though they were not employed. IRS VITA & TCE will file your taxes for free!</p>

<p>Yes, they could, if they were U.S. citizens, but why should they??? It’s certainly not required in order for their student to receive financial aid. A statement of non-filing status is quite sufficient.</p>
<p>In this case, in any event, the OP is an international student . . . whose parents could not file U.S. tax returns even if they wanted to!</p>
<p>^Ok, I did not know OP is an international student looking for financial aid.</p>
<p>The OP should have stated that he/she is an int’l student.</p>
<p>The student needs to contact the school and ask. </p>
