Can my mom claim me if I already filed my W-2 and made less then $6,000 2024. I'm 17 years old.
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
Since you are under the age of 18, your income is not a factor in her claiming you as a dependent, accept to say she would have to furnish over 1/2 half of your support. If you already filed your tax return and did not indicate that someone else can claim you as a dependent, you will need to amend your return for your mother to claim you.
You can find more about deducting dependents by viewing IRS Publication 4491.
@Lyncoln2381 If you already e-filed with a return that said no one can claim you as a dependent, you have set your parents up for some aggravation this year. They can claim you since you are still young enough be a "qualifying child" dependent; when they try to e-file a return that claims you, their e-file will be rejected. They will have two choices----seek IP PINS---which will take weeks----- or file their tax return by mail instead of e-filing---which will also take weeks and delay their refund.
GET IP pin in order to e-file if your dependent’s SSN was claimed on another return
They do not have to wait for you to amend. They can file their return that claims you whenever they are ready to mail it. When your own return has been fully processed, you can amend it and change the way you answered the question in MY INFO that asked if you could be claimed as someone else's dependent. It will not affect your refund.
