Who wants to talk to you? The IRS? Did you get a letter? Did your roommate really pay for over half your support ---- or did the roommate claim you just to get a tax credit without you knowing he was doing it?

Yes I received a letter today from social security. In 2018 I was having a lot of unforeseen expenses so he helped me a lot I still paid my own bills and food etc.yes I was aware he added me for just that year we were told he could.

I’ve tried contacting the ssi office and can’t reach anyone. I’m disabled and this is the only money I have to live, I’m scared of losing my benefits. I just don’t know where to go from here.

We help with income tax issues here. We cannot help with Social Security or SSI. You will have to talk to SS to sort this out and see what they want. It is actually quite common for people who are on SSI or Social Security to be claimed as dependents on someone else's tax return, so don't panic. Wait and talk to Social Security to see what they want.
