My father claims me as dependent on his tax return, but I'm not sure how that will work this year. I was dependant on him from January to June, but since June and on I no longer am. Here is some additional information:
I am 23 and single. Do not own a home (saving). Get my degree in August (was a full time student). I started a full time job in June making 50k+ salary. I also worked part time during school and made between 7k-12k this year.
My question is can my dad still claim me as a dependant on his tax return this year? I know its technically my up to me, but I want to make sure it is legal still and the negative affect on my tax will be less $$ than the overall benefit $$$ he receives on his return. Lets say I get $1000 less and he only gains $500 from me on his return it would be stupid to claim me. Now if it where reverse I am ok with it for this year as i was dependant on him part of the year. I just wish a 1/2 year dependant claim could be done.......
