Here’s the breakdown: - I’m 23, full time graduate student as of Sept 1 - In 2017, I worked full time and paid rent away from home from Jan-May. - Moved home June-August, worked full time - Moved to school Sept-Dec and paid rent.
I have provided 100% of my support for 9 months out of the year. The other 3 were at home.
I am filing my own tax return behind my parents’ back because they are trying to make a buck off me by claiming me as dependent and get viciously angry when they think I’m taking something that’s rightfully theirs to the point where I am fearful.
My income tax and student loan interest deductions are mine to claim, point blank.
I have never done this so any guidance would be appreciated. Step 1 was to have my W-2s sent to my apartment. Where do I go from here?
Thank you!
Tl;dr: parents try to claim me as dependent on their tax return, but I am not. Filing behind their backs and don’t know how to do it.
