I am a 19 year old college student and work, but only make about $4,000 a year. My dad claims me as a dependent on his taxes but I want to try to get the most financial aid I can to live on my own. Right now, I live in a dorm and live with him only in the summer. He doesn't give me money for anything. What is the best thing for me to do to get the most financial aid?

Your dad should not claim you and you should claim yourself.  I hope this answers your question.  Thank you.
