<prompt> Human: My Dad, who has a history of stealing money from me, called me and then gave the phone to his gf thats a whole other story for her to tell me to make sure I check the box on my taxes that states he claimed me as a dependent. I was only in school for four months last year, but have supported myself 100 since I was 17 currently 19. This is my first time filing my taxes and I dont think that he was able to legally claim me, but he did anyway. Its too late to change it now, but Im sort of freaking out abut how this will impact my refund. Ive been claiming zero since I started working to try to maximize my refund because im really counting on it. From what ive gathered, I wont be able to claim any exemptions, including myself, which ive read can be 500. Or any of the donations ive made minor, 90 here and there but I documented them carefully for a reason, anything helpsCan anyone advise what I might be in for? Thank you!  <response>: Its the IRS, they have forms for that:If he could legally claim you as his dependent, he wouldnt need your permission, nor could you check the box that no one can claim you. It doesnt sound like he can legally claim based on the info you have given.Or any of the donations ive made minor, 90 here and there but I documented them carefully for a reason, anything helps90? You most likely would not be able to deduct them anyways.
