Will I have to submit my 1040? I cannot find it and I only have my W2's. Is there somewhere that details what information we will have to send out and where?

has anyone gotten the fee reduction? How much is it for approximately?

Gather the following documentation to complete your FRP application:
1) Tax Filer: Federal income tax forms for each party completing the FRP application (applicant, spouse and parents, where applicable), and filing taxes for the 2008 tax year.
2) Non-Tax Filers: W-2 Forms for any individual who is not filing a tax return but has earned income from work for the 2008 tax year.
3) Financial Aid Award Letters: Applicants must include their Financial Aid Award Letters for the applicable academic year if their primary source of income is educational aid/scholarships.
4) Unemployed: You must report a means of support for the applicable tax year. This means that if you did not receive income from work, you have non-taxable income to report. List all financial means provided on your behalf or received from all sources in the year 2008. If non-taxable income is your only source of income for 2008, then include the entire amount received to support yourself throughout the year. (See examples of non-taxable income, in the “FRP FAQ’s’'.)
5) Complete the FRP Application and E-Submit. Ensure that the information you report on your FRP Application is correct-additional supporting documentation may be required after the application has been received and reviewed. FRP applications must be received on or before October 15.

Hey, I received an e-mail w/ the amount I'm getting back. How did you receive the refund? Check via snail mail or refund directly back to your bank account?

Thanks!
