Please choose the correct form(s) for your needs and follow the instructions for completion and submission. You must sign all forms by hand (except for our DocuSign forms, which you will sign electronically). Typing your name or using an electronic image of your signature will result in SFS rejecting the form and requiring resubmission on your part. 

Sign your 1040 tax forms in the signature box on page 2 and include all schedules. Tax returns that are missing a signature will be rejected. Submissions not including tax schedules may result in a delay in processing your financial aid.

Upload .pdf versions of your completed form through your SIS To Do List. Documents uploaded through the Student Information System are encrypted in transfer and are kept in a secure system vetted by the University’s Information Security Office. Submitted documents can only be accessed via a Virtual Private Network (VPN) by authorized personnel of Student Financial Services and the University. The information is used only for the purpose of needs analysis for financial aid eligibility.
