Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, you can file as a dependent and you may get a tax refund depending on your income.

 

If you agree that you were a dependent, go ahead and check the box in the Personal info section that says someone claimed me as a dependent. 

 

This will affect your refund because you can't get any tax credits as a dependent, but you may still have a refund. 

 

If you don't agree that you should have been claimed as a dependent, you can ask the person that claimed you to amend their tax return, so that you can file as a non-dependent. 

 

If you do that, you will have to print and mail in your return because the IRS will not accept your tax return even after the amendment is processed.
