<p>I am FINALLY old enough to file the fafsa as an independent for next year.
If I file as independent on the fafsa, when my dad does his taxes this weekend, can he still claim me?</p>
<p>If he is entitled to claim you, then yes. But since you are probably over the age of 24 (that's why you're independent) then it doesn't matter if you're a full time student. You must have earned less than $5,450 and he must have provided more than half your support in order to be able to claim you.</p>
