Both, obv. I take your word for it, but that's very strange as I read through dependent claiming rules that I thought indicated 'providing >50% support for live-with partner = eligible'. There definitely were stipulations and new standards regarding claiming relatives, too.. I got a 2nd opinion from someone older who read the rules (not a tax advisor) and they concurred. Even more odd that when I provided proof to my school and told them it was my gf they were cool with it and listed me independent.
Oh well, I will have to revise last year's. Luckily don't have to worry about this year's return.
