Hello,
So my question revolves around the issue of dependents. I was in college for the first half of last year, graduated, and now I'm in grad school but pretty much financially independent. My parents probably can file me as a dependent, but said that they won't since I can then further reduce my taxable income. Of course I'd love to reduce my taxable income to essentially zero and get a full refund, but is this allowable? The wording that confuses me is that on the tax form it states "Can you be filed as a dependent?" Well, I *can be*, but I'm not going to be claimed.
