Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I was claimed without my knowledge for the past 2yrs and the person amended their return and was accepted, but mine is still getting rejected. How can I get it accepted?

The only thing turbo tax is telling me is that it was rejected because I am still being claimed as a dependent

Your screen name suggests that you are a college student.  Are you under age 24?  If so, you may actually still be a Dependent.  You will have to file by mail. The IRS will investigate.

The IRS uses a specific definition to determine if you are independent. Scholarships and co-signed loans do not count as providing your own financial support. 

 

For more information, see: What does "financially support another person" mean?

 

As @SweetieJean states, you will have to mail in the return. The IRS will then investigate who provides more than 50% of the support and adjust the tax returns accordingly.
