Why do schools like Washington and Lee and Urichmond ask for actual copies of tax forms.

We had to send in tax forms to several schools. We also had to upload tax forms for IDOC purposes.

As noted…if you want institutional need based aid…You need provide what the college requests…or your request for aid will not be considered…at all.

Yes, you can black out all but the last four digits of everyone’s SS numbers. But everything else needs to be seen by colleges that request it.
