Federal tax returns and W-2(s) allow us to verify the information you reported on your FAFSA. 

Deadline: March 2, 2025

Please submit copies of your and your parent(s) 2023 federal income tax documents via IDOC. We require the entire federal tax return, including W-2s, 1099s, all schedules (A, B, C, D, E, F, K-1, etc.), and statements. In addition, if your parent(s) filed a tax return for a business, corporation, or partnership (1120, 1120S, 1065, etc.) we will also need a copy of that return. A quick rule of thumb: if you sent it to the IRS, we want a copy too!

Not Filing a Tax Return?

If you do not have W-2 forms, or if you did not file a tax return, be sure to indicate this on the CSS Profile and on your FAFSA.

If your parent did not file a 2023 federal income tax return, please have them complete a Non-Tax Filer Statement.
