FAFSA independent / tax return dependent Our daughter is attending graduate school and qualifies as an indpendent for FAFSA. For 2012 tax reporting she is still under 24 and qualifies as a dependent for us since we pay her living expenses (rent, food, utilities, gas, etc). Her loans are for school payments. Is there a problem with our claiming her as a dependent? We do not want to jepardize her loans. |
