If I'm filing single can I claim myself

posted

How old are you? Are you a student? Can someone else claim you as a dependent? Did you provide more than half your own support?

If you are not being claimed as a dependent by someone else you can get your own personal exemption (claim yourself) otherwise you will only get the standard deduction for filing single.

You can't claim yourself separately as a dependent. You as the taxpayer get the same $4050 personal exemption that a dependent would get unless you can be claimed as a dependent by someone else.
