<prompt> Human: The past couple weeks my parents have told me they claimed my daughter for the year 2015. I am 27f, turning 28 in a month and I have an 8 year old daughter. My daughter and myself lived with my parents until July 20, 2015. I worked out a deal with my parents for rent by buying groceries throughout the year. I have paid for all of mine and my daughters other expenses Transportation, clothes, school, school, etc.. I was able to do this with the student loans I had received throughout the year or two.I graduated college in the beginning of the year and got my first salary job which I started a couple days after July 20th. Since moving out of my parents, I pay approximately 600 dollars a month for the school child care and I also pay for all school fees etc.I need to do my taxes asap. What should I do?  <response>: a person can only be a dependent on one tax return. if you both claim her. youll both get notices from the irs for one of you to amend your taxes. if neither of you amend, youll both get audited. you can both do this to see who should be claiming her.
