Some professional advice is needed....
My fiance and I are planning on getting married this summer. However she is attending graduate school this fall. Here are my questions. Since her parents are paying for tuition and the lease of the apt. would be in their name can she still be claimed as a dependent. The problem is her brother goes to PU and her parents get more support with 2 dependents in college. The way I read it is her parents can claim her because she is under the age of 24 and meets the criteria for being claimed as a dependent. I also see that I will file my taxes seperately. I believe that once we file jointly we will be dependent on each other.
Can someone clear this up?
