Can someone please help me…so the person doing my sister taxes claimed me as a dependent but failed to include my insurance and 1098-t my sister was under the impression that she was filing independently this year since I was unemployed and told me that she did so I filed my own taxes because I needed to include my insurance and 1098 t it got rejected electronically so I had to paper mail it…what’s gonna happen? What should we do? Pls help:/
Srry I meant to say the person doing my sister taxes put me as a dependent on hers without including that information
If your your sister filed her tax return claiming you as a dependent, and you filed your tax return and indicated that you could not be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return, the IRS will contact both of you to determine if she was eligible to claim you as a dependent or not. It's not a problem, the IRS will just want to get things right. One of you will probably owe additional tax. Since you filed a paper return it might take a while before you hear from the IRS.
If you do not qualify as your sister's dependent, she should file an amended return to remove you as a dependent. That would resolve the issue.
