your relatives (blood relative in most cases) can claim you as a dependent to file tax; the relative has to present your W2 form sent by your college; however, you can't get instate tution by doing that. the only benefit that will happens is your relative will get some tax refund based on your tuition fees. hope this helps.

to get instate tuition, transfet to colleges/universities that offer instate tuition if a student gets scholarship or on campus job.

good luck.
