What documents do I need to submit for parental tax returns?

Tax Returns

U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents

Copies of parents' 2022 Federal Income Tax Return, including all schedules and W-2 forms. All tax forms must be submitted via IDOC. If no income tax return will be filed, this should be certified in writing by completing the 2024-2025 Non-Filing Statement.

Undocumented Students Residing in the U.S. 

Copies of parents' 2022 Federal Income Tax Return, including all schedules and W-2 forms. Please be sure that the student's name and Dartmouth ID (if applicable) appear at the top of each page submitted. All tax forms must be submitted via IDOC. If no income tax return will be filed, this should be certified in writing by completing the 2024-2025 Non-Filing Statement.

Canadian Residents

Copies of all pages and schedules of parents' 2022 T1 General Tax Forms. If they file a U.S. tax return in addition to a Canadian return, both must be submitted. Please be sure that the student's name and Dartmouth ID (if applicable) appear at the top of each page submitted. Submit information to the Financial Aid Office. We do not suggest you send documents via insecure means. Please either mail the documents OR provide the documents via encrypted application (i.e., Winzip) with password protection. The password to open any encrypted documents should be sent via a separate email.

International Residents

Copies of all pages of your parents' 2022 Income Tax Statement for your country of residence should be submitted to the Financial Aid Office. If your parents file separately, please send a copy of each parent's tax return. Tax returns must be in English. You may translate these documents yourself. Please keep figures in your home currency and do not convert to USD. Be sure the student's name appears at the top of each page. Submit the information to the Financial Aid Office. We do not suggest you send documents via insecure means. Please either mail the documents OR provide the documents via encrypted application (i.e., Winzip) with password protection. The password to open any encrypted documents should be sent via a separate email.

If your parents do not file tax forms, then you may submit a statement from their employer verifying their 2022 calendar year income. This statement must be in English. You may translate it. Please keep figures in your home currency and do not convert to USD.
