Your mother's biological sister. Is she counted as your immediate relative?

No. A person's immediate family is: Spouses, children, parents, and siblings.
When you are a kid, it is your parents, and all the people they are raising. When you become a parent it extends to your spouse and all the people you are raising.
I think the term is getting looser, though, to include anyone in the same household...just as our definition of family is loosening up.

There are slightly different definitions depending on the purpose for the definition.
Immediate family can be a group of persons sharing common ancestry (even if they aren't living together) such as parents and their grown children. In most places in the USA, if a person dies without a will, the court will try to locate all their biological descendants and legally adopted descendants.
Or it can be more narrowly defined as all the members of a household under one roof, so that step-siblings are included. A school district would probably use this definition.

Immediate relatives are Brothers and sisters. Your Brother has the same mother / father that you have. And your sister have the same mother / father that you have. So it is. Immediate relatives are always Brothers and Sisters of same Mother / father. Are you CLEAR ?

Yes. The Mothers sister is your Aunt.

Your immediate family consists of your mother, father, brother or sister. YOUR family! Not your families family, get it?
