Tax Form 8880

Tax Form 8880Application form college is considered a contract? I was a minor when I signed, it is now null and void?

I applied for college when I was 17. 2 weeks before my first course of my mother and I had a quarrel and I could not buy school books, or travel to college. I signed this application 2 weeks before my 18th birthday. I never dropped out of school and now I am being charged $ 1,400 + intercept my tax state. Is this application / contract "considered null and void?

In general, yes, it is a contract.

Also, in general, minors can not be held to contracts.

If you were 17 when you asked, the college or university would probably need a parent or guardian's signature. This person would be liable under the first contract.

However, if you are 18 years and behave in a manner consistent with the contract you signed as a minor, you are considered to have "ratified" the contract by your behavior in adulthood.

Even if your parent did not sign your name if you do not drop the course before your 18th birthday, you are considered as having ratified the contract by your inaction. Thus, the day of your 18th birthday, he became a valid contract.

You are not talking about an application. A request is that you first send to college and they decide if you are accepted. Then they send a letter back telling you if you are or not. If you are, then you must enroll in the college, register for classes, apply for housing, etc. All that was done weeks or months after the application was signed, so you have 18 anyway, but even if you was not a parent, you should have signed T for you to be accepted. I sent five or six "applications" from here, but I enrolled in a university.
