Hello!

I am currently 21 and a full-time student. I am in my third year of college. However, I also support myself 100%. I fully pay for all of my own expenses and my own schooling. I am still required to claim my parents on my FAFSA form, but do they still claim me as a dependent?

 

Thank you!

Your parents can claim you up to the age of 24  UNLESS you are self supporting using income from working. School loans or scholarships don't count as income for support.
