I am a 21 year old college student, and I am officially living by myself year round. I pay for everything including my car insurance, rent, utilities, phone bill, groceries, clothing, hygiene products, etc. I have made a little over $10,000 this year. When am I eligible to claim myself and receive my education tax credit instead of my parents? Also, would claiming myself mess up my FASFA or kick me off of my parents insurance?
