If I live with my parents but am no longer a dependent for the purposes of taxes etc, does my "household" count as 1 or 3?
@witchfynder_finder for the IRS etc, all the information i have seen is that a household is limited to spouse and dependents; for other things uhhhh i've never really gotten a good answer
your parents are effectively roommates in this scenario so??
@Lady Yeah that's what's tripping me up is I file singly for taxes but this is just trying to get some grant money from college and the wording really makes it sound like they mean everyone who lives here, but I don't really see how what my parents make is relevant since I'm paying for all this stuff myself
@witchfynder_finder i literally think it is impossible for ordinary mortals to understand
if you crash on someone's house are they your household?? if you share an apartment?? if you have different apartments with the same street address?? where is the line?? is the line the lease/deed, because your name isn't on that?? is the line “where you sleep most of the time”?? what if you spend half your time sleeping at your girlfriend’s place??
@Lady Yeah I'm just gonna fill this out as if it's just me tbh
For all I know since I got the grant last quarter they won't give me more money anyway
@witchfynder_finder the number one thing i want to change about forms is making them stop asking for gender information but RIGHT BEHIND IT is getting rid of all the assumptions which expect a nuclear household
