I would like to know the steps I need to take in order to file my taxes independently. I am currently 19 years old, a full-time college student and living with my parents. I would like to marry my s/o for undisclosed reasons. However, the only thing that is stopping me is from my parents finding out.
Each tax season my parents claim me as a dependent. I utilize my own income without their help, and I will be moving out of the house soon. I am an adult and I can make my own decision, but I would like to avoid unnecessary confrontation from them.
Thank you for your help.
