While your mother must legally file her taxes, it it to the IRS and not you that she must answer to. The fact is that at the age of 21 your mothr is no longer reponsible for your support or otherwise. Bottom line, while it si unfortunate that she will not help you with obtaining financial aid for your schooling, it is not illegal.
