I filed my own taxes this year, not knowing I was going to be claimed as a dependent. Return was rejected because I WAS claimed as a dependent. I have been waiting for my tax expert to get back to me. My questions; Do I even need to file my own taxes?

If I pay for all of my college MYSELF, do those who claimed me as a dependent get that tax return money instead?

Not A Product Question

Based on what you've said, you should not have been claimed as a dependent.

However, your parents have filed and have claimed you as a dependent.

This will take time, but the only way to resolve the situation as you stated is to file your taxes by mail.

The IRS will see that both of you are claiming you as a dependent.
They will send both of you a tax notice,
You will each have to state what the situation is.
The IRS will determine the outcome based on each of your statements.
If you are verified you will get the refund you submitted and "he" will have to pay it back.
