I'm a 21 year old college student. I made over 40k this year as income. My parents pay $0 towards my college tuition. I am not a dependent and I told my parents not to list me as one, but surprise surprise they did anyways.
I tried filing my tax returns on H&R Block and the IRS rejected it. How do I override being claimed as a dependent? Besides the fact that I actually am not a dependent, my calculations also show that I would get so much more money back as a non-dependent, which is why I don't want to be claimed as a dependent.
EDIT: Thank you guys so much for your support. How much money would my parents get from claiming me as a dependent if they earn below 20k per year? I would lose about 1.3k from being claimed as a dependent. Would they get more than 1.3k?
