If that is necessary, the university or the faculty will inform you of that. These things can vary from university to university. Your best option would be to check your university website, financial services office or the Bursar office in your university.

The only time I know that financial statements are asked for is when one applies for a business or personal loan, or applying for a mortgage. Each bank or credit union can have their own document requirements, however for each transaction. It really is at their discretion.

First, the LLC operates as tax partnership (“TP”) as the default tax status if no election has been made as noted in Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3(b)(i). For legal purposes, we have a LLC. For tax purposes we have a tax partnership. Since we are discussing a tax issue here, we will discuss the issue from the perspective of a TP.A partner cannot under any circumstances be an employee of the TP as Revenue Ruling 69-184 dictated such. And, the 2016 preamble to Temporary Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-2T notes the Treasury still supports this revenue ruling.Though a partner can engage in a transaction with the TP in a non partner capacity (Section 707a(a)).A partner receiving a 707(a) payment from the partnership receives the payment as any stranger receives a payment from the TP for services rendered. This partner gets treated for this transaction as if he/she were not a member of the TP (Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-1(a).As an example, a partner owns and operates a law firm specializing in contract law. The TP requires advice on terms and creation for new contracts the TP uses in its business with clients. This partner provides a bid for this unique job and the TP accepts it. Here, the partner bills the TP as it would any other client, and the partner reports the income from the TP client job as he/she would for any other client. The TP records the job as an expense and pays the partner as it would any other vendor. Here, I am assuming the law contract job represents an expense versus a capital item. Of course, the partner may have a law corporation though the same principle applies.Further, a TP can make fixed payments to a partner for services or capital — called guaranteed payments as noted in subsection (c).A 707(c) guaranteed payment shows up in the membership agreement drawn up by the business attorney. This payment provides a service partner with a guaranteed payment regardless of the TP’s income for the year as noted in Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-1(c).As an example, the TP operates an exclusive restaurant. Several partners contribute capital for the venture. The TP’s key service partner is the chef for the restaurant. And, the whole restaurant concept centers on this chef’s experience and creativity. The TP’s operating agreement provides the chef receives a certain % profit interest but as a minimum receives yearly a fixed $X guaranteed payment regardless of TP’s income level. In the first year of operations the TP has low profits as expected. The chef receives the guaranteed $X payment as provided in the membership agreement.The TP allocates the guaranteed payment to the capital interest partners on their TP k-1s as business expense. And, the TP includes the full $X guaranteed payment as income on the chef’s K-1. Here, the membership agreement demonstrates the chef only shares in profits not losses. So, the TP only allocates the guaranteed expense to those partners responsible for making up losses (the capital partners) as noted in Treasury Regulation Section 707-1(c) Example 3. The chef gets no allocation for the guaranteed expense as he/she does not participate in losses.If we change the situation slightly, we may change the tax results. If the membership agreement says the chef shares in losses, we then allocate a portion of the guaranteed expense back to the chef following the above treasury regulation.As a final note, a TP return requires knowledge of primary tax law if the TP desires filing a completed an accurate partnership tax return.I have completed the above tax analysis based on primary partnership tax law. If the situation changes in any manner, the tax outcome may change considerably. www.rst.tax

It seems to me you should just ask American Express if they have form you can fill out.  It seems odd they would want to see an earnings statement, but if you need to show some sort of proof of income, typically in the absence of a pay stub, your most recently-filed tax return should suffice.I'd really ask them first before automatically sending them your tax returns though.

My understanding is that unless there is another extenuating circumstance, your noncustodial parent is expected to provide their part of the expected family contribution. If refusal was an option many parents would simply refuse to pay. If they aren’t signNowable then how do you know they don’t want to pay for your tuition? You must have been in contact when they filled out the Profile, so they have not been out of your life for an extended time. Generally in these cases you will have to find another way to pay the EFC, including your custodial parent’s current income, assets, or parent loans, or more student loans. Or you will need to go to a college that is more affordable. Your custodial parent can try to take your other parent to court to get an order for them to pay, or to enforce an existing custody agreement clause about college payment.I can imagine an extenuating circumstance that would have to be considered. For example, if your parent’s assets were frozen after filling out the Profile (they are under indictment), your parent has been hospitalized in a coma or severe mental health issue (though in that case you might be directed to work with whoever becomes their guardian), or if your parent has become a missing person (not just doesn’t answer the phone when you call) there could be some consideration from the financial aid office. You would need to be able to document the circumstance (police reports, court orders, medical affidavit and so on).You are not the first student to have this problem. Contact the financial aid office and ask for their help. Don’t “appeal for more financial aid” but rather ask their advice in dealing with the situation. They will ask questions to flesh out the details and then if you are lucky advise you on what next steps to take given your circumstances and your parent’s circumstances. Depending on the situation they might refer you to another office for support (for example Student Services or legal aid).
