<p>Hi Guys,
Now that my parents have finished filing their taxes for the 2011-2012 fiscal year, I’m wondering when and if I’m expected to submit this information to Yale’s FA office.</p>
<p>I submitted the required information for the provisional offer of financial aid in November, but I know that it needs to be updated with the most recent information before an actual offer can be made. Am I just supposed to submit the FAFSA, CSS Profile, and copies of our tax returns to the FA office, or is there some other procedure to follow? I’ve received a bunch of mail since December, but nothing about this.</p>
<p>Also, I know we’re required to submit midterm reports. My school’s semester just ended last week. Is my counselor just supposed to submit and update via the Commonapp, or do I need to take action as well? Will Yale ask my counselor for this information, or is it something I need to bug her about?</p>
<p>You should be able to resubmit FAFSA with under the ‘taxes filed’ classification; when you submitted in Nov, it would have been as ‘will file’. The Profile cannot be corrected online, call and ask the FA office what they want you to do. Some schools have you print out the pages with changes and have you write in the updated information. Tax forms are sent via IDOC. I believe it is the parent that receives an email about IDOC after you submit the Profile to schools that use it.</p>
<p>The school should submit the midterm reports online through the Common App but it doesn’t hurt to follow up with your counselor to make sure they do.</p>
<p>P.S. I believe they get notified of this via e-mail by Common App.</p>
