Unfortunately, there isn't anyway to find out who may have listed you on their tax return (unless you have an idea who it may have been and can ask them and they will tell you.) Your permission is not required to list you on a tax return. However, there are qualifications that must be met for you to be listed as the dependent of another person.
Generally, the person must provide more than half of your financial support - plus meet a number of other qualifications.
The only solution available to you is to prepare and file your own tax return by mail - even though that return may be a "zero" return - a return with no taxable income and no tax due or tax refund owed to you. This will establish that you are not receiving support from another person and establish a tax file reporting your own income to you in your own name.
The IRS will at some later date send correspondence to both you and any other individuals listing your name and social security number on tax returns requesting supporting information to determine which tax return is accurate.
The return determined to be inaccurate will be corrected and that taxpayer will be required to pay back any benefits derived from listing you as a dependent if you are not, in fact, a dependent of that taxpayer along with penalties and interest.
The IRS will provide you with information about the other parties.
