I'm about to start my first professional year (I'm 21 years old) and pay for all my college/tuition and have my own apartment yet am still classified as a dependent under my parents.
The only benefit I get from being a dependent is the health insurance, but after I received only a $5000 loan from FASFA for the upcoming fall was wondering if it would be worth it financially to file as an independent for the next year?
