[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister in law does not deduct her child from her taxes so his child files as independent (he’s 18 and lives at home but is going to college next year) and thus will apply for financial aid as financially independent. How does this work? Her DH is a CPA so I’m sure they are following a legal process, but I thought it was more involved and harder to declare?[/quote] I had just helped a kid (a mentee) obtain an independent status. From what you are describing, this won’t fly - earning money and not being claimed on tax return is not enough to be considered independent.[/quote]
