<prompt> Human: My family and I have a lot of issues with my father but thats a whole other story. This is my 21F first time ever filing for taxes since I just got a full time job last year. Due to the fact that our school system does not help us figure out how to do taxes or other real world problems, I was totally clueless about how to go about filing it. Thus, I went straight to paying for turbo tax to have it do it for me. After answering all the questions in turbo tax and then submittingfiling for the 2015 taxes, I received an email a few minutes later. To my surprise it stated that I was rejected due to the fact that I have been claimed on someone elses taxes. My mother and I get along well so I know that it wasnt her. Only option left is my dad. He likes to cause all sorts of trouble with my family and I and will put himself first before anyone else but as I said, hes a whole other problem. Anyways, it seems like he has claimed me as a dependent and after further research I realized he has no right to do so. I make more than the 3.9k yearly amount, not a student, Im over 19, and he doesnt housesupport me in anyway.I read another story here regarding almost the same situation, however no one really gave a direct answer on what to do.So at this point Im not sure really where to go from here. Im a newbie to taxes and I understand Im at fault for waiting last minute as taxes are due in a little over a week. I was just wondering what I could do to fix this issue in the least complicated way. Who should I contact? And can I not use turbo tax anymore? Which will be a bummer since I paid almost 100 for it Thanks so much for the help!  <response>: You are not his dependent, from what you say, so you should file as someone who is not a dependent, claiming your own personal exemption.Once someone has used your SSN on a return you cannot efile, as you have found out, so your only option is to file on paper. To do that you print out your return the one that Turbotax produced will be fine, sign and date it, and attach the federal copy of your W2 to the front of it. Then just mail it to the address shown for your state here onbefore April 18th. If you file state taxes, do the same with your state return, using your state copy of your W2 and looking up your states paper file addresses.After a short to medium wait the IRS will send both you and your father a letter, saying you both claimed you on your returns, and one of you must amend. You will probably have to talk to your father at this point and explain the issue and that he must amend. If he refuses and you refuse, because hes in the wrong then the IRS will examine both your situations, probably ask for more info, and decide who is correct. That person will get your personal exemption. If its you, thats when youd finally get your refund and your father would get a demand for some of his refund back.
