<p>Hello I am currently a sophomore at a private school and I am receiving a 49,000+ scholarship. I went through a lot last year to make sure I received it after my mom illegally filed head of household although she is married, unemployed and my dad makes the most money. </p>
<p>She did that last year and she did it again this year -_- My dad got mad so we amended it to married filing jointly in April. </p>
<p>Problem: I turned the AMENDED tax forms in but now my school is requesting verification. This includes me having to send them an IRS Tax Transcript. Although my taxes were AMENDED, the transcript is showing that my mom is still filing head of household and my dad's record just isnt there since it was impossible for him to file before the amendment since my mom was HOH. </p>
<p>What can I do?? What do I tell my school?! I plan to email my financial aid advisor right now but I just want more information.</p>
<p>My parents (mainly my mom...no just my mom lol) are completely ignorant of how this whole thing works. My mom wants to file HOH because she will get more money back during ttax times and she will be able to go back to school on government aid...but she's 41 and could have gone when she was my age. I feel like she's being quite selfish and trying to make me pay for her mistakes.</p>
