Is there a way to file without my parent's information?

I haven't lived with either of them for years, and I am considered financially independent from them at my university.

Review you personal information on your tax return.  You will find this by selecting my info in the left panel.  Make sure that you have not indicated that you can be claimed by another individual.  Also remove Form 8615 from your tax return. 

 

To delete Form 8615 follow these steps:

  • With TurboTax open select Tax Tools in the left panel.
  • Select tools
  • Select delete forms
  • Select delete on the line for Form 8615
  • Select  Delete Selected Form

Yes, you can file as single and you will not need any of your parent’s information.  However, you should insure that your parents are not claiming you on their tax return  If they do their return will be rejected for claiming, you as a dependent.

I marked single, but because I'm in college it is still prompting me for their information for Form 8615. I haven't lived with either parent since I was three though. That's what makes this all difficult.
