Be extremely careful! I lost $4000 because my daughter asked the wrong question. My daughter did her own taxes this year. She's 17, has a little hostess job on weekends and got her first W2s for the 2013 tax year. She did it on her phone, just scanned her W-2s, like she does to deposit her paycheck, and it was a quick job to finish it. But easy as it is, it was wrong. When she got to that question she asked me if her dad would claim her. I said no, so she put no. That cost us $4000. I think maybe better to pay someone else to do it. Or not have her do one at all because she makes little enough money. Or maybe Turbo Tax could have counselors available. Or maybe there should be a huge yellow box that says "Be extremely careful" around that question.
