My parents are claiming me as a dependent this year, but I am working while I go to school, so I still need to file. Do I need to indicate this on my tax return?

You will do so when you fill in your Personal Information.

  1. In the Personal Information section, in section 3, you will see a question "Someone else can claim me as a dependent on their tax return.
  2. Select Yes
  3. Another question, "And this person will claim me on their 2016 tax return." will show up
  4. Select Yes
  5. Continue through TurboTax to complete your return
