have provided more than 50% of your support and based on what you said they
have not. You must also be a full time student at least 5 months of the
year since you are over age 19 but it should like you are.

The IRS checks off SSNs based on the first one across the finish line and it
sounds like you won that race. If your parents try to e-file with your SSN
listed as a dependent on their return, the return will be rejected. If they
file on paper it is likely that they will receive a notice from the IRS
asking them to explain why they feel they can claim you. IF the facts are
as you describe, they will go down in flames.

This is really not a tax problem.

This is a tax question. The answer is they'll get audited more likely
than you.

Probably, but as you're supporting yourself and they aren't doing anything,
they will fail the support test and you will win. They probably looked at
the fact that you're a full-time student under age 24 and forgot that they
have to also meet the support test for dependency.

If they file electronically their return will be rejected. If they then
file the same return on paper the IRS will contact both them and you. When
the dust settles it should be the last time you have this problem, because
they will be the ones with the IRS problem. You may want to warn them.

Hello,

I'm in a bit of a situation. My parents are planning on claiming me on
their taxes as a dependant for 2007. However, I already filed my taxes
and I said no one will be claiming me. I'm 21 years old and I work
between 42-50 hours per week. I pay my own rent. I pay for my car. I
pay my own insurance. I pay for my groceries. They aren't paying for
my education... Despite all of this, they are claiming me as a
dependant for their own profit.

My concern is that now that I've filed my taxes, if they file theirs
later (they'll wait until the last minute, undoubtedly) and claim me,
will I get audited?

Any advice is much appreciated!
