One or both of you will get a letter from the IRS telling you to amend your returns because you can't both claim the same person.
If you were not a full-time student for some part of at least five months in 2006, then your dad can't claim you as a dependent child unless you are totally and permanently disabled. And even if he supported you all year, if you made over $3300 gross income, then he can't claim you. If these situations apply, then do him a favor and let him know before he files, so he doesn't claim you illegally and end up getting a letter from the IRS and owing them money back. You or he can read the rules in the instructions for the 1040 under dependents.
If he can claim you because you were a student, or disabled, or made under $3300, then if you made over $5150, you still are required to file, and should check the box on the return that says you are a dependent.
If he can't claim you, you don't have to file unless your income was over $8450 unless you had income that wasn't on a W-2.
Even if you're not required to file, if you had anything withheld for federal income taxes you should file to get it refunded to you.
Note: most of the answers you've gotten are wrong. Happens here all the time re who is a dependent. Read the IRS rules (download at irs.gov) or call them if you're still not sure. |

Most likely you do not have to file for yourself, if you don't want to. As long as you live with your parents and you are a full time student or in the military they can deduct you (assuming you are away from home only due to school or the military). 9 times out of 10 it is much more beneficial for your dad to claim you. The 2 options are these:
1. You claim yourself and your dad doesn't claim you
2. You file your own taxes, with no deductions (because your dad is claiming you) and your dad claims you. Your return will be slightly lower (assuming you don't make a huge amount of money) and your dad's return will be significantly higher (because he probably makes more money than you do).
Either way, if you meet the criteria to file, you have to file. The only question is do you claim yourself, or does your dad claim you. |

If you are working then you can file your own taxes and your dad can still claim you as a dependent as long as you have lived at least 6 months in his home and no one will get in trouble you can call the IRS and they will tell you the same my friend claims her son and he works and also files his own taxes. |

Not if he has - no. 1st 1 in gets you. If he is still supporting you he has the right to claim you + he probably gets more money claiming you than you would as probably higher tax bracket. Think smart here. |

You must file a federal income tax return, regardless of whether or not another taxpayer can claim you as a dependent, if you meet or exceed the guidelines for "Who Must File?"
This means, you expect to have a federal income tax liability of 50 cents or more (rounded up to the nearest whole dollar, $ 1.00). For a single taxpayer having no dependents (you may not claim any exemptions for dependents if another taxpayer can claim you as his/her dependent), this translates approximately to, "you had $ 8,450. or more in adjusted gross income for the year 2006." |
