High school student Non custodial parent claims me as dependent.Will I get a refund?
I am a 17 yr.old high school Junior. I live with my mother(cp) ,stepfather and four siblings. My father(ncp) claims me and one sister on his tax returns. He got this in the divorce settlement . He does not provide 50 % of my support. I have been working part-time for almost a year. I am starting to work on my financial aid package for college and file my first tax return. question is since he claims me as a dependent do I not get any refund since he claims me. Doesn't seem fair that he gets the deduction and I get nothing ( should be use to it by now )He refuses to NOT claim me and I will probably get stiffed on the financial aid too. I just need to know what to expect.

Let me clarify. My biological father claims me , not my stepfather.Not fussing as someone claims just need answers. Fathers income is quite high and I will be not getting any benefit of that for my education and will be relying on mother and stepfather for assistance as well as scholarships and my own income. (while dear old dad is totally off the hook) I am just tired of him wanting credit for my success , while contributing nothing.

You file as normal, but do not claim yourself as an exemption. you will still get most of the refund you would have gotten unless you made quite a bit more than most high school juniors working a part time job.

This happened to me when I was your age.My mom would claim me even though I lived on my own(with a roomate not parents).When I filed my taxes they had no way of knowing if my mom claimed me and my mom said she didn't.I filed normally and got a normal refund.However a few months later I got a letter from the IRS wanting more than half of the money back stating my mom had claimed me.I wrote the IRS a letter telling them my mother said she had not claimed me and I live on my own and she does not provide even 10% of my income.They sent me a letter letting me know that they were going to request the money from my mom.It's a crappy thing to do to your parent but my mom wasn't innocent either.If I were you file as if no one were claiming you and if the IRS wants there money explain to them you dad doesn't even live with you.Good luck.

Because you are in school full-time and he has a divorce decree he can continue claiming you. If you move out on your own, and pay for all of your expenses he can no longer claim you. But you can file a tax return if you did work and had federal and state taxes taken out of your checks. You can file a return to get those withholdings back. You will not be able to take your own dependency because your step-father has already taken that.

But keep in mind that until you turn 19 years old your step-father can claim you, or as long as you stay in school full-time up until you are 24 your step-father can claim you.

try www.turbotax.com and see what they say about your refund. You don't have to pay unless you file through them, and you can enter all the appropriate info and know exactly what your refund would be!

You still file a tax return. As long as you didn't make over $3,300 (your personal exemption) you will get back all the Federal taxes that you paid in.

About what katzgto67 said....obviously your father can claim you because that is what he and your mom or the court worked out in their divorce and child support agreements. It doesn't matter a bit if he lives with you or not. He'll be able to claim you until you are 24 if you're a student - even if you live on campus.

Well, if you file your taxes then you may or may not get a refund depending on whether or not taxes were withheld. If they were withheld, then it depends on what you earned as to how much you will get back. As far as you father is concerned, if he does get a refund, it will be money that he has already had deducted from his salary, it will not be YOUR money he is getting. You should file separately. There is a box on the 1040 that states "someone else will claim me as a dependant". Check that box and follow the instructions.

You can not file for yourself if he is filing for you. However, you can include a letter with your financial aid package to the school (not FAFSA). In the letter you should explain the situation. The financial aid office may be able to assist you in adjusting the FAFSA or finding funding elsewhere.


wish I were
He can claim you and you still get your refund. quit fussing about everything and adjust your negitive attitude!
