Claimed as a dependent and also self employed.

I’m 27 and in college. My grandmother has been claiming me as a dependent on advice from her tax guy. I’ve worked for a boss and received a W-2 form and I’m self-employed for wag. When I file my taxes do I file just my 1099-MISC  or also my W-2 form?

ALL of your income goes on your tax return.  At 27, if you earned more than $4200 in 2019, Grandma cannot claim you as a dependent, even if you are a student.
