If you suspect someone you know claimed you, why not just call them and ask. In case of an identify theft, you call the IRS. Or file as you normally would and see if you get a letter from IRS.
Best wishes.

If you are entitled to claim yourself, don't worry about anyone else claiming you. If the IRS finds that two or more returns claim the same person, they will contact BOTH and request proof of the right to claim that person. If you are correct, the IRS will deal with the other person. If they don't ask, no one else tried to claim you. Even if someone did, the IRS won't tell you who.

One thing you could do is e-file your return, claiming yourself. If someone else has already claimed you, your return will be rejected within the next day or two. If your return is accepted by the IRS, you will know that nobody else claimed you.

if you e-file and someone has already claimed you as their dependent, your return will be rejected,, that way you'd know for sure. If you file on paper and someone has claimed you, the IRS will contact you for additional information.

The only one who could claim you legally if you are under 18, or under 23 if a full time college student, is your parents or legal guardian. Just ask them if they claimed you as a dependent. If you are over 18 and not a college student, no one else could legally claim you.

If someone else is living with you, ask them. If you live alone, probably not.
