Get your taxes done using TurboTax

How would I know if I am filing a return or just to just get a refund? And what would the differences be? Between my wife and I we have 1099 and W2 forms and would be under the $30,000 additionally we both were in college for more than 5 months last year.

 

If I file as joint married and only I was claimed as a dependent would that be an accurate way to file? I just don't want to get in trouble. Would the IRS send to either myself or my dad if one of us needs to amend our taxes?
