I'm a full-time college student and I reside on campus. In summer 2016, I worked at a camp and made a salary of $900 prior to taxes. That being said, I'm uncertain on whether I should/can file for myself or do I still let my sister do it. If I file for myself, will it affect my financial aide negatively? My mom hasn't been working since 2014, hence she hasn't been filing for herself for the past years. My sister claimed me in her 2015 taxes and I don't know if she planned to do so again this year. She didn't work in 2016(she just got a job in January), so is her claiming beneficial to her and not me? I'm confused and I have no idea how this works.
I'm now realizing that my mom manipulated me into not working at 18 because of taxes. I'm sorry for sounding so immature.
