Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It is not a matter of permission, if you can be claimed as a dependent based on IRS rules, then the taxpayer is allowed to claim you. If you wish to fight it, you can file a paper return. The IRS will then review both returns and contact the taxpayers for information. The IRS will make the ruling as to who gets to claim the individual. The rules for dependency can be found in the link below.
