Less than full time college student, but did not provide over 50% support. TT says daughter is not a dependent.

My daughter was in college the entire year, but due to the degree program being pursued and to prior credit hours earned, she'll never be at the "full time credit level" definition of the college that she attends.  She did work part time and earned over $4,300 but, she lives at home and more than 50% of her support was provided by parents.

 

Is she ineligible from being claimed as a "dependent" on parents taxes? 

Must she now now file as "independent" from parents?

How does that (being "independent" affect tuition paid, AOC, or any partial scholarships she may have earned?
