I just started college and received a nice ($2,700) check disbursement (extra money from Financial Aid and scholarships after tuition has been taken out) and should get at least that much next semester, in January. Will my parents still be able to claim me as a dependant on their tax return? Would this money hurt my Financial Aid possibilities for next year? Would I have to report this money when filing my FAFSA? If I start my own bank account, is anything affected?
