When I filed my income tax last year, I was 24 years old and living at home with home w/ my mom (still am). I was also working part-time (made about $7500) and going to school part-time. I could've sworn that I read somewhere that I could claim independent no matter what (according to all the factors I've listed above).
However, my mother claimed me as a dependent since I still live with her rent free. The woman who did her return even said she could claim me. My mom even mentioned that she purchased a textbook for me (which she did not). I am slighlty peeved.
Yeah I do live rent free, but I buy my own clothes...pay for my books, pay for my bus and cab fare, personal items, ...
Sorry for rambling, but who is right? We both got letters from the IRS saying that one of us has to amend.
