She is eligible both ways, she is under 24 as a full-time graduate student working and supporting herself more than 7 month in the other state. She was a full-time undergraduate student the first 5 months of the year by the parents. The status change determines in-state vs out-of-state tuition for her. This is why she "wants" to claim as independent on her return and I amended my to remove her as a dependent. Only issue it it won't let her e-file now.
