I have a question about dependants. Or more particurally, how not to be one anymore. I am 20 years old and living and going to school in NC. My parents also live in NC, and as of this past April are still claiming me on their taxes. They live at the other end of the state. I rent my own apartment, and for the past three years have paid for my own schooling. I am not sure about this year because they have finally qualified for a PLUS loan, which as of tonight I have not convinced them to take. I also pay for my own insurance. The most financial help I have gotten from them is my Mom helped me do laundry at the laundry mat and has bought me a window air conditioner. What process do I need to go though to no longer be claimed as a dependant? It is affecting my financial aid because my mother is rich, while I have only 32 cents in the bank. (hard month, to say the least.)
Hope this makes sense, its late!
