Faxing Tax Returns?

One of my schools just says, fax your tax returns to this number [fax number here]. It doesn’t even give guidelines for a coversheet, or how to label it. As a general convention, how would you label the thing? Do I write my name and identifying info like SSN and ID number for the school itself in a little box off to the side? Though since I am still a dependeng, I am listed on the form itself, I would imagine it is weird to just get a tax form with no heading at the top. Any tips?

Also, when they want a signed tax return, that signature is just for parents right? (assuming the tax return is their’s)? The college wouldn’t expect a student’s signature as well on a parent’s tax return is what I am assuming. Is that right, or do they want us to verify it also by signing it?
