Can I still file for last year taxes even if my parents claimed me

Can I still file for last year taxes even if my parents claimed me

This does not appear to be a Small Claims Court question, which is where you've posted.

I've asked that it be moved to the tax forum.

Moved to taxes

Even if you are a dependent, you must file your tax return if your income exceeds the filing requirements. Also even if you are not required to file and have a refund, you should file to get the refund.

If someone can claim you dependent, then you can not claim your own exemption. Read: Your U.S. Tax Return: Filing Requirement for a Dependent (http://taxipay.blogspot.com/2008/02/filing-requirement-for-dependent.html)

However, if you made MORE than $3,500 AND you are NOT a student, then your parents CANNOT legally claim you as a dependent.

So if you meet the above criteria, claim yourself and tell your parents so they can amend their return before the IRS contacts them to force the issue.
