For higher tax refund and financial aid purpose. What age can a child can be a independent on tax return? Can she be a independent before 18 or while in high school? Is it better if she starts working to support more than half of her expenses starting first year of college or 12th grade? If she Getz 14k for financial aid and spent 10k om tuition and books. She has 4k as taxable income. Let say her dorm and food is another 5k. Does she need to make more tham half of 4k to say that she support more than half of her expenses? Thank you
