Hello everyone, it is my first time filing for taxes and I need help. I am 20 years old and I earned around 8k in 2017. My parents cover all my expenses, so they claimed me as a dependent on their tax return. However, they didn't include my wages on their tax return, and my father says that if I file it'll affect his taxes. (he had some accountant do it for him, and didn't mention that I worked or something like that?) He gets some exemption in the form of a college credit, since he pays for my tuition. Now my question is, what do I do now? I don't know how filing will affect my parents tax return. Won't it affect mine? I am not sure what form to file now, from my research I am thinking its the 1040. I know I have to file taxes with the amount I earned. So does my earnings truly, in anyway, affect my parents tax return. If it does, should I work less hours? Thanks for reading!
