Adding a w2 of a dependent

my boyfriend is claiming me as a dependent but my wages on my w2 are 2704, do I still need to file for myself?

Yes, if you want any tax withheld refunded, you have to file your own return. Just be sure that you check the box that says that you can be claimed on someone elses return.

Be sure to check the box on your return that says you can be claimed on someone else's return.  That is very important.

The Online version is only good for 1 return. But you can use the same email address for 5 accounts.  To do another return you have to set up a new account and new user name and pay any fees again.
