I am 21, full time student. I live off campus 12 mo/year. My earned income for tax year 2024 was around $5k. During 2024 (as well as currently) I paid all my bills/tuition mainly from savings due to low earned income. Can I still file as independent on the 2024 taxes? Does it matter that the savings account I use to pay for my expenses was mostly funded by a gift in years 2022 and 2023?
