<prompt> Human: He wants to claim me on his taxes. However, I tell him I cant. I am disqualified for child and relative status. Ive told him I cant change what Ive planned how to file since Ill end up paying thousands of dollars, but hes going to try to claim me anyway.What should I do?Assistant: Youll both file, if he files first, you might have to file a paper return. The IRS will ask both of you for additional info - for you to prove that you are not a dependent and for him to prove that you are a dependent.He will end up losing. Dont worry about your dad and file your return.Are you sure you are not a dependent though? Do you live with him, does he pay any of your expenses, pay for school ect?Human: The living situation is quite complicated and would require an investigation of sorts to prove certain things, but Im 100 certain of how the outcome would be. in my favor Other than that, I pay for everything, on top of paying his groceries.  <response>: I promise you no matter how complicated your living situation is a IRS agent will be smart enough to figure it out.
