Filing taxes without my parents knowing

[susan066]

My parents claim me on their taxes as dependent since they provide over half of my expenses.

I am in college. They do not want me to have a job, so they don't know about my side hustle which is in the Adult Entertainment industry.

I do not work with an independent company - I receive payment in Venmo and Cashapp solely.

On the tax form if I respond "Yes" to the question "Can someone claim you as dependent?" and I file my taxes, will my parents find out from the IRS?

TDLR; how can I file taxes without my parents knowing?

no , the IRS can not release your info to your parents.   a problems would only arise if you claimed yourself.

Thanks, so to just double check, the only thing I have to be aware of is to ensure that I check "yes" to being asked, "Can someone else claim you as dependent?" for my purposes? 

Also, which form would I file my taxes as? 

Best,
