<prompt> Human: First time ever filing taxes and I decided to put that my parents arent claiming me. When I told them that I would have to pay 1000 if I selected that they are claiming me they insisted that I filed my taxes wrong. I already submitted it after telling them and my federal refund is 1200. Heres some background info, Im a part time college student, and I work full time as an independent contractor for ATTDirectv. Not sure what to do or if there really is any other option than to amend it or leave it as is and deal with my parents. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!  <response>: If your parents are allowed to claim you, you cannot claim yourself. If you are allowed claim yourself, your parents cannot claim you. You cannot agree to let them claim you; either they can and you have no say, or they cannot and you have no say.Here are the rules for claiming dependents.
