That's because you probably were their dependent.

That was in 1980. Seven years later.

Obama was a rich kid? No wonder he favors the Wall Street banksters.

OAS is "Cold Case Posse Supporter" on Free Republic. He joined it recently just to birf.

Punahou tuition was not cheap. And Obama's sister also attended, but she was claimed as her mother's dependent in 1973.

Obama's mother and step-father Lolo Soetoro listed a Hawai'i apartment address on their returns prepared for them. Stanley Ann Dunham as a student would have certainly listed her son as a dependent due to their money situation. She didn't though. She only listed her daughter Maya as a dependent. Someone or some agency was Obama’s legal guardian after January of 1971 that was not his supposed parents - that has to be accepted as fact. So who was Obama’s legal guardian as of January 1972?

Why is this any of your business?

No it wasn't. That's why her parents couldn't afford it without scholarships. Have you not been reading the thread at all?

She didn't attend Punahou until 1984.

"As of 1973 Ann Soetoro was singlehandedly raising two biracial children, of different fathers, while attempting both to support them and make her own way through graduate school."

His mother supposedly struggled to support Obama singlehandedly, but didn't claim him as a dependent. Hmmm...

Yes, she was. And no, she didn't.

What about that do you still not understand?
