Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, she can file a tax return and seek a refund of tax withheld from boxes 2 and 17 of her W-2.  She will not get back anything withheld for Social Security or Medicare.   

 

The big question is----was she a full-time student in 2023?   If so, she can still be claimed as a dependent on your tax return, and must say on her own return that someone else can claim her.  This will have no effect on the amount of her refund.

 

If she was not a full-time student in 2023, then she cannot be claimed as anyone else's dependent.
