Am a person who helps folks with the financial aid process and want to echo what three4three just posted…communicate with the schools! Make sure you understand what each individual school’s “tax form requirements” are! Each school is different – ranging from IDOC only to manual copies of tax returns/forms to required data retrieval. IF the school is requiring data retrieval only and you are having problems, be proactive and seek the school’s guidance and support…at a minimum send (and document that you sent) a manual copy of all required forms.
