I graduated undergrad in May and during that time this year, I worked part time jobs (non-work study). All of my tuition and housing were paid for by student loans in my name with my mom as a co-signer.
After graduation, I started a salaried job immediately and have gone back and forth between an apartment and my parent's house (but I still pay them rent). Am I dependant? They're trying to get me to amend my tax return.
