As a part of our file review process, Boston College requires all financial aid applicants to submit copies of their federal tax returns. Tax information is required from students and both biological/adopted parents.
Submit the following:
- a signed copy of student's 2024 federal or foreign tax return, including all schedules and W-2 statements
- a signed copy of your parents' 2024 federal or foreign tax return, including all schedules and W-2 statements
- If your biological/adopted parents are divorced, separated, or unmarried living separately, a signed copy of your noncustodial parent's 2024 federal or foreign tax return, including all schedules and W-2 statements
If you or your parent(s) are not required to file tax returns, an Income Tax Non-filer Verification Form should be submitted. A copy of the Income Tax Non-filer Verification Form for students and parents is located at the Financial Aid Forms page.
- Copies of 2024 U.S. federal business tax returns (1065, 1120, 1120S) with K-1s and all schedules
- A copy of the business tax return is required for each business owned
- If you, your parent(s), or your noncustodial parent own all or a portion of a farm, please submit the Business/Farm supplement (BFS)
- The BFS must be submitted for each farm owned.
- If a question does not apply, note “N/A” in the space provided. Questions left blank will delay the review of your file.
If your biological parents are divorced, separated, or unmarried living separately, you must submit the Noncustodial Parent’s Statement (NCPS). Your noncustodial parent must complete every question on the NCPS form.
- If a question does not apply, note “N/A” in the space provided. Questions left blank will delay the review of your file. Any special circumstances should be addressed in writing and include your name and Eagle ID Number.
Submit all required documents to www.bc.edu/finaidupload.
Please note that it will take 48–72 hours for your documents to be added to your financial aid file.
Please remember to write your assigned Eagle ID Number on every page of all documents you submit.
