<p>Erin’s dad, I think this student’s parents want him only to use his info on the FAFSA. So…the parent tax link would not be used IF he were really an independent student…which he is not.</p>
<p>OP…also, tell you parents that their tax filing status has NO relationship at all to you FAFSA. Even if they do NOT declare you as a dependent, the parent info is still required on the FAFSA unless you satisfy one of the dependency questions…which you don’t.</p>
