Documentation
Some students will be required to upload income and tax documentation for the student and each parent (including biological, adoptive and step-parents, if applicable) to College Board’s secure Institutional Documentation Service (IDOC). In such a case, we would need the documents listed below:
- 2024 W-2 forms for both parents and student.
- 2024 federal tax returns for both parents and student: Be sure to include all pages, schedules (if applicable: A, B, C, D, E, F, 1, 2, 3, etc.) and statements associated with each federal tax return. If the student or parent(s) have non-US income and tax documents, please follow the steps listed under the international student application instructions for Documentation.
- 2024 business returns (if applicable): If the student’s family owns all or part of a business, submit the 2024 federal tax return for each business (Corporations, S-Corporations and/or Partnerships). Please include Form 1120, 1120-S and/or 1065 and all K-1s, schedules and attachments. If the student’s family ownership totals less than 5%, only the K-1s for that business are required.
- Non-Tax Filer Certification, if applicable: If either the parent or the student did not file a federal tax return for 2024, please submit a 2024 Parent or Student Non-Tax Filer Certification instead.
- Trust documentation for the student and/or parent(s), if applicable: Include a copy of the trust deed and most recent market value.
