Complicated guardianship for financial aid?

Don’t be shy about emailing FAFSA directly with your questions. They get back to you quickly and theirs is the opinion that counts.

I suspect what will be important is who is counting you as a dependent on the annual tax forms. IF your aunt claimed you for 2010, then I suspect you have to use her income for the current FAFSA. IF you move back in with your parents for more than six months of 2011 and they claim you as their dependent for 2011 tax purposes, then you would use them. Again the FAFSA help desk could clarify this. Good luck
