Okay, I live with my step mom and dad. All the way up until the 8th grade I lived with my mom and shes always claimed me on her taxes but when I moved in with my step mom and dad they started claiming me. Well now im going to college and need financial aid. my mom makes a TON less then my dad and step mom so I was wondering if I could have my mom claim me so I can get more financial aid. I still see my mom very often and only lives about 25-30 minutes away.
