Non-Custodial Parent's Taxes

Paying for College
1

<p>I did the Fafsa, IDOC, Profile, and institution specific forms for fin. aid.</p>

<p>On the IDOC it said to send non-custodial parent taxes under seperate cover. My non-custodial parent may not have them available to be sent until maybe march 15, well past the receive by March 1 deadline.</p>

<p>Also some other schools list these taxes as a requirement.</p>

<li><p>Worse comes to worse, sending these in later or upon the notice/request of the individual schools that ask for them, will I penalized $? </p></li>
<li><p>Is there any benefit to calling each school that wants them and asking them what to do?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>Most schools request them early, but most also will accept them later. Almost all will take them until 15 Apr, many take them later than that. It will delay your FA award in most cases. In some cases, they will accept an estimate based on last year’s forms until the current ones are available, but they reserve the right to change your offer until all the data is in. Just get them in as soon as you can. Let the FA office know they are coming.</p>
