"How many people are in your parents' household?"

So the question says to count people in the household. Do I count my older sister? She is 27 and has her own job/income , but she lives with us at home. Should she be counted? Also, do I list her under the family member section even though she doesn’t really depend on my parents for money? Thank you~

No, you don’t count your 27 year old sister.

The FAFSA should have a whole bunch of things that pop up around the question- or google as you do it. For example:

No you don’t count her because your parents aren’t supporting her. She’s somewhat like a tenant, even if she doesn’t pay rent.

Thank you everyone~
