Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Do you qualify as a dependent of the person who claimed you?

 

If not, you will need to paper file your return if you have already been claimed because the IRS will continue to reject your attempts to e-file.

 

Then, if you know who claimed you as a dependent, ask them to amend their return and remove you as their dependent. 

 

Important: If you don't know who might have claimed you, it could be a case of tax-related identity theft.  In this case, I would also suggest you Complete IRS Form 14039, Identity Theft Affidavit and mail it along with your return.
