When schools want tax return

How soon after submitting the FAFSA do schools expect hardcopies of the tax returns? I plan to submit my FAFSA soon because I have enough income information, but I can't submit my taxes yet because I need a Schedule K-1 from a partnership I'm in and I usually don't get that until late March. The partnership will report a small loss in 2003 so that won't change my income. Can I submit my FAFSA now and give the school I'm going to a hard copy of my taxes around end of March or April? Thanks.

Don't ever give a hard copy of your tax papers to anyone who isn't going to hand it right back to you, unless the IRS wants it or something.

A copy is good for financial aid purposes.
