Question

My school gave me until August 30th to get them my parents non-filing papers or else I will not start the semester because my FAFSA cannot be processed without it. What should I do?

Answer 1

You can get a transcript of your tax return online. It is a summary of your income and taxes. Go to: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

The summary of your return may satisfy the school until the full copy of your return comes in the mail.
