I did my taxes online before my mom did hers. When she got home she asked me if I claimed her. I didn't know I was supposed to. Well she claimed me too, and I claimed myself. What will happen?


Btw.. I am 19 and not a student if that helps. Oh, and I was working full time all year. I made like 12,000

Your mom can't claim you as her dependent because (a) you are over 18 and not a full time student - and hence you are not a qualifying child, and (b) you made more than $3500 - so you are not a qualifying relative. The IRS will disallow her attempt to claim you as her dependent.
