I did include the tuition and fees on my previous return. That is why I am confused. However, I am amending my return to say that I am filing as an independent. I wasn't clear on everything and am fairly new to this and had clicked someone could claim me as a dependent (also thinking my father might have potentially claimed me but he didn't). Do you think me filing as an independent is making this pop up?
I answered in another message but my mother has not paid any of my bills and she is legally divorced from my father. I did not live with either of my parents throughout the past 5 years and i made almost 8k last year and put that on my original tax return.
