My 23 yr old sister is living back at home. She is a college graduate but not currently a student. My parents can’t claim her on their taxes, but can we claim her as a dependent on the FAFSA? She has a job, but my parents are supporting more than 50%
Are you sure your parents are supporting her more than 50%?
I’m not sure the answer, but for financial aid purposes, she would add one more to your household which does not increase FAFSA EFC by much.
I assume it’s more than 50%. She isn’t giving them any money for rent,food,clothes,phone etc. She pays her own car insurance and gas, that’s it
Yes, she can be claimed as a member of the household if your parents are providing more than half her support. Look at the FAFSA stipulations yourself so that you know.
How much does she earn? even though she is not paying anyone, are you saying that she is earning less than half of her support?
