If you were 24 at the end of 2016 and NOT a full-time student for 2016, your mom cannot claim you as a dependent for 2016. You earned over the $4050 list to be claimed as a dependent.. So that needs to be changed on both of your tax returns. As for the medical expense, the answer remains that your refund will only be the difference between your taxes withheld and your tax liability. You should receive a refund of some taxes withheld, since you can claim yourself, but it will not equal the amount of your paid medical expenses.
