2011 Tax Returns & W2 Forms	Fall: Nov 1, 2012 Spring: Feb 1, 2013	Once you have filed your Profile Form, you will receive a letter from the College Board’s Institutional Documentation Service (IDOC) providing instructions on how to submit your tax forms and any other supplemental forms required. You should send signed photocopies of all pages of your parents’ and your own 2011 federal tax return including photocopies of all W-2 forms to the College Board. If your parents own a business, then their business tax schedules and tax returns (Schedule K-1, Forms 1120, 1120S, and/or 1065) should be included in your IDOC submission. If your parents did not file a US return, we require copies of the foreign return filed. If your parents did not file ANY tax return, download the Non-Tax Filer Statement from our forms page and include it with your IDOC submission. Please Note: Only one package of documents may be submitted to the IDOC service, so please do not submit your package until all your documents have been compiled. If after submitting your original package we request additional information, please send these additional documents directly to the Duke Financial Aid Office. Do not send additional documents to IDOC after mailing your original completed package.
CSS Noncustodial Profile (Required if submitted last year or if your parents divorced during the past year.)	Fall: Nov 1, 2012 Spring: Feb 1, 2013	When you complete your Profile registration, the College Board will notify you via email that Duke requires the Noncustodial Profile. This e-mail will provide details about the requirement and should be shared with your noncustodial parent. The e-mail will contain a link to the Noncustodial Profile website as well as login instructions for your noncustodial parent. Your noncustodial parent tax return should either be submitted in the same packet with the custodial parent's information or in a separate packet mailed to the College Board's IDOC Service, with a copy of your original IDOC letter.
Additional Information	Fall: Nov 1, 2012 Spring: Feb 1, 2013	If your family has special circumstances or unusual expenses, be sure to let us know.
Profile Corrections	No Date	Since we verify all financial information with the financial documentation you provide to IDOC, you do not need to submit Profile corrections regarding financial information. If you need to correct other information, such as family size or number of children in college, you can email us this information and we'll correct it for you.
