Yes, as far as I know. We have turbotax. It really helped us. Also if you go earlier in the year here( have to have an appointment) you can get free help by a qualified person at the local library. Not sure if you have that there, might want to think about it for next year?
Always pays to be sure about everything when it comes to taxes!!! But they can be amended if you find mistakes later. I think you can even go back 3 years. Many find money they are owed like this. |

Yes. Being claimed as a dependent is only so filer A can get more money back. Filer B (the dependent) can still file and get a return. |

If she recieves her own income than her mother will be committting a felony be listing her as a dependant if your neice is above the age of 18 if she is below the age of 18 at still cares for her in her home than the mother can still claim her as a dependant and she can file her taxes however make sure the mother knows that claiming a dependant can be considered IRS fraud if she is not actually taking care of your Neice. |

If she is a full time student, she is still allowed to make a limited amount of income and still be claimed by her mother as a dependent up to 24 years of age. But as said earlier she must check the appropriate box that she can be claimed by some else and she cannot claim any exemptions. This information is available in the tax booklet under explanation of a dependent. |

yes she can still file her taxes they will ask her questions including can you be claimed as a dependents on someone else's tax return alls she will have to do is say yes and they will file the right forms. if she is considered some one else's dependent then she should get everything she paid into federal taxes back.
i hope this answers your question |

IF YOU ARE OVER 18 AND AWARE THAT THEY ARE CLAIMING YOU.
NO, YOU SHOULD NOT , BECAUSE WHEN SOMEONE IS BEING CLAIMED AS A DEPENDANT ON SOMEONE ELSE'S TAXES YOUR BASICALLY SAYING THAT THE PERSON TOOK FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF YOU FOR THAT YEAR. |

Yes, she should file her taxes. However, she cannot claim the personal exemption though. |

there is certain criteria that must be met to claim someone as a dependent. Did your niece make more than 3500.00 in that tax year. You should still file a return even though you are claimed as a dependent. You will only get back a percentage of what u put in and cannot claim EIC ( earned income credit). U can claim anyone as a dependent if they have lived with u for the entire tax year and earned less than 3500.00 and u provided for them financially. |
