- Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
- After completing the CSS Profile, you will receive communication from the College Board's Institutional Documentation Service (IDOC) providing you with instructions on how to submit your 2008 federal tax forms and any other supplemental forms that may be required. You should send signed photocopies of all pages and schedules of your and your parents' 2008 federal tax returns (including photocopies of all W-2 forms) to the College Board by May 4. If no 2008 federal income tax return will be filed, download and complete the appropriate 2008 Non-Tax filer's Statement and submit it to IDOC with documentation of all 2008 income.
- If parents hold an interest in a partnership or corporation, copies of all pages and schedules of the 2008 federal business income tax return(s), including all K-1's, must be submitted to IDOC with personal federal income tax returns.
- IDOC Processing Tips
All documents should be submitted to the College Board as one complete packet and must have an IDOC cover sheet. Tax returns and the cover sheet must be signed. All documents should display your IDOC ID number (printed on your cover letter from the College Board). Duplicate cover letters and cover sheets are available from the College Board's Institutional Documentation Service (IDOC) website.
In the case of divorced or separated parents, you may submit your noncustodial parent tax information along with the remainder of your application materials to the College Board. Alternatively, you may forward a copy of the IDOC coversheet to your noncustodial parent and request that he or she submit the requested materials directly to IDOC. - CSS Noncustodial Profile
