<prompt> Human: Hi PF, long time lurker - first time poster. I am an adult female 30s living with my partner female in an apartment. We are both on the lease with another roommate. She owns her own small business not sure if this is important or not. She wants to claim me as a dependent.I am in grad school full time and live off of her support, my part time wage 8 hours weekly, and student loans. She does provide more than half of my living expenses. I am extremely uncomfortable with her doing this for several reasons 1 is it legal? 2 I dont want it to screw me out of receiving federalstate aid for school 3How will this affect me in the future? Thank you for any advice.  <response>: Did you make more than 3950? If so, she cannot claim you as a dependent.
