Get your taxes done using TurboTax

When you enter your information in Personal Info, you are asked if you can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return.  If your answer to that question is NO then you are claiming your own personal exemption of $4050 which lowers the amount of income you are taxed on.  You will see it on your Form 1040EZ combined with your standard deduction on line 5; on 1040A on line26; or on form 1040 on line 42.
