I've been through this once before on the state level, which was resolved rather quickly. While going through the State return, I accidentally did not indicate that I was a dependent of my parents in 2015, as I only moved out on my own in November of 2015. Apparently this mistake was also made on the Federal return, as yesterday I came home to a letter from the IRS saying that I have claimed myself, while also being claimed by someone else.
I find it a bit concerning that this information took until November 2016 to reach me. I am hoping that the 3-year timeline outline applies to the date that I received the notice, rather than an earlier date.
In 2015 I started working in July, and lived with my parents up until November. I turned 19 in September 2015.
Currently I am living on my own with a pretty decent income. How much should the claimant correction in the 1040X form result in me being charged? And is there a possibility that I will be charged extra fees for this not being dealt with until now?
