<p>For reasons that are too complicated to explain, my step dad will not be able to file his income tax return by April 15. Obviously, this kinda screws up things for financial aid. Most of the college’s that I am applying to are willing to accept my mother’s separate 1040 and his 4868.</p>
<p>My question is: fill out my coversheet to reflect this (should I just check, will submit return by X/X/09)? Will they accept an explanation on a separate sheet? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
