<p>I live with my aunt (guardian) but she doesn't have the guardianship through the court
Am i independent or dependent? </p>
<p>P.s. My parents live in mexico and my other aunt has been claiming me in her taxes for the last ten years</p>
<p>her income : 17000</p>
<p>I just posted the answer on the other thread. You are dependent. Use your parents’ info.</p>
<p>Are you a US citizen or permanent (green card) resident? That can make a difference in what you are eligible to get as well. If you are a citizen, you will most likely get a FAFSA EFC which makes you eligible for a lot of aid, even if your parents are not citizens.</p>
