@Bochi - if she went out of her way to not claim others, that is fine, there is no requirement that she claim anyone. That is her right and her option. The IRS doesn't care.
HOWEVER
note that for the rest of you, the question you are asked on your tax return is CAN you be claimed by someone else, not WERE you claimed by someone else. See the difference? Your response to the 'CAN' question is the same regardless of whether you are actually claimed or not.
