<p>I'm in sort of weird situation.</p>
<p>I'm under 24 and have been living in CA for 3 years, reporting my ow tax, and I'm the only one of my family who lives in the states and lives entirely on my savings while in college. Though I do NOT receive parental support or gift at all, my income is near zero except some financial aids I'm receiving. I do borrow money from other people, who are NOT my relatives. They asked me to a bi-annual income and expense statement I'm wondering how to fill out. Borrowed money isn't considered income for this purpose, is it? : |</p>
<p>I think I fit the all the conditions for being a resident except financially independent.</p>
<p>How would they categorize me for the tuition purpose? Is the requirements somewhat negotiable?</p>
