There are so many of us who made this mistake. If no one claims us and if we don't even qualify to be a dependent, to be written off just because we checked a box that gives permission for us to be claimed is not fair at all. In the end we are NOT dependents. I started hashtag #notadependent on Twitter to try to get more word out about people in our position. To be missing out on some life saving money when you are starving or unable to buy the essentials just because of a small mistake that shouldn't even dictate our qualifications is not okay.
