Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you qualify as a dependent on that person's return, he/she does not need your permission to claim you. 

If you determine that no one has the right to claim you as their dependent, you should file a paper return, claiming yourself and send it in to the IRS. They will then contact you and whoever claimed you and adjust your tax result accordingly.
