Get your taxes done using TurboTax
You are correct, you will have to print and mail your tax return. It wouldn't hurt to send a letter with your return. Once your return has been processed, the IRS will contact both of you to determine whether or not you qualify as your mother's dependent. Based upon what you've stated, your mother will not be able to claim you.
