Hi,

I have a question regarding = legal=20 guardian.

The situation is:  Student = is 20 and=20 living with grandparents.  One parent lives in WA , the other = parent=20 lives out of state.  The grandparents raised and claimed  = him on=20 their taxes from ages 13 – 18, and then again at age 20.  = Student left=20 the state to stay with dad for a year (went to school for awhile, then = worked).  He returned to WA to live with grandparents and attend=20 college.  Grandparents did not claim him for 2002, but will claim = him for=20 2003. 

Question:  Since he is = financially=20 dependent upon his grandparents, can they complete the residency = questionnaire=20 as legal guardian since they have been claiming him on = taxes?

I'm thinking since he is not = financially=20 dependent upon his parents, he technically does not have dual = residency so he=20 gave up residency when he moved away, right?

Thanks for your help. =
