<p>I need to fill out my cornell financial aid application, can anyone tell me what " claimed on federal tax return of 2009" means?</p>
<p>I don’t understand what it is asking. Do we just put a yes or a no?</p>
<p>I think you should put yes. I think my parents did that and I am a very typical applicant. However, some advice other than that MIGHT be better. :P</p>
<p>Can you give more context?</p>
<p>Does it say “were any exemptions claimed in on the federal tax return of 2009”
or “were you claimed as a dependent on your parent’s federal tax return”?</p>
<p>Claimed in tax rhetoric means several things.</p>
<p>chendrix - I found the answer from another CC post, it happened to be the second question you mentioned. But thanks for trying to help out, I appreciate it!</p>
<p>Are you sure that’s the answer?</p>
<p>Just sayin.</p>
<p>Yup, as in was I dependent on my parents’ income for 2009.</p>
<p>k. Good luck to you with aid!</p>
