<prompt> Human: Hi, I am doing my own tax returns for the first time this year, but my parents want to claim me as a dependent and I qualify for being their dependent even though I made well over 6300 dollars. However, in November of last year I got married and I havent told my parents yet because I dont want them to know. Looking into the tax documents it seems like I have to put my status as married but filling separately. My question is, if I fill out this tax return and my parents claim me as a dependent will they get a receipt of my tax return and see that I am married? Thank you!  <response>: They wont know youre married as long as you dont use their accountant or tax preparer but you and your spouse could pay more in taxes when you file MFS.
