Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Simple answer: With the tax law change, effective 2018, most students and others under 25 will get the same refund whether they claim themselves or not. The personal exemption has been eliminated and the standard deduction increased.  Amending will most likely result in no additional refund for you. 

 

But, as others have indicated, taxes aren't simple.  So a specific answer will depend on the details of your tax return.
