Can my brother still claim me on his taxes even though I am a full-time, independent student on my FAFSA?

I am an independent student but I live with my brother. Is he able to still claim me on his taxes?

 Because you are a independent student on your FAFSA your brother is not able to claim you as a dependent.  You are getting more financial aid because of your independency.   It would jeopardize your financial aid if he claimed you.

Thank you for answering. I have another question. What do I do with my 1098-T form if I am an independent student?
