In Fall of 2008, I was selected for verification meaning that my parents were required to send in their W2's and tax returns so that the counselor could compare that information with what was submitted on my fafsa. However my parents refuse to send in this information because they didn't want me to attend the college I was attending. As a result I was unable to receive my Lottery Scholarship and State Grants. Therefore I had no way to pay full tuition for school. So I ended up not attending school that semester as well as this one. So I've been out of school for a full academic year because documents of my parents failed to be turned in. Right now I am preparing to attend school this upcoming fall semester and I've filed my taxes and fafsa as an independent only to find out that my parents claimed me as a dependent again on their taxes. My question is Isn't there a law that requires my parents to submit IRS documents and if they refuse they can no longer claim me as a Dependent on their taxes?
