Hi,
Just some background, I am 25 years old and I made no income and was living with my parents in 2020. So my tax return was all zeros this year.
I worked in 2019 so that year I filed as a single person- however for 2020- I had meant to file in a way that allowed my parents to claim me as a qualifying dependent but I realized- after I had already filed- that I stupidly selected no to the box asking if I can be claimed as a dependent. 😔
I am getting ready now to file an amended return to correct that and say that I can be claimed as a dependent and my parents still haven't filed their joint yet.
My question is- I obviously need to mail my amended return in, but do my parents also need to sign and mail their return or are they still able to e-file? I have a feeling if they efile- with my ss# listed as a dependent- it is just going to get rejected.
Any advice would help so much, thank you!
