Yes, you can still file your own tax return and receive a refund of the taxes withheld or balance owed. However, if your sibling claim you as a dependent, (as long as the Dependent rules are met). Then you must indicate on your tax return that you can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return (usually in the personal information section).

Here's a link to the IRS website for more information about Qualifying Child & Relativehttps://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/family/rules-for-claiming-a-dependent-on-your-tax-return/L8LODb...
