Hi all!
I'm doing my taxes for the first time by myself using software, and I'm wondering if I'm considered independent since my parents are not claiming me. I was claimed as a dependent in 2019 and didn't get any stimulus checks, so I want to know this to see if I would qualify for the Recovery Rebate.
I live with my parents and we share expenses, so I'm not sure if I pay for more than half. Even if my parents do pay for more than half, if they decline to claim me as a dependent, would I still be considered an independent?
Thanks for any help you can provide- I'm realizing I'm financially illiterate but I'm learning :-)
