<prompt> Human: Heres the rundown: this year was the first time Ive had to file taxes. In 2016, I got my first job and started college, and I didnt live with my mom at all. I lived with my sister, and my mom paid my rent until June I was still in high school. After June, I had to start paying my own rent. I went to file my taxes and I claimed myself so I could claim my school tuition; this would give me about a 2,300 tax refund, something I could definitely use. I submitted my taxes, and they were rejected 2 minutes later because there was a dispute. Turns out my mom claimed me. Since she claimed me, I couldnt claim myself, and since I couldnt claim myself, I couldnt claim my school tuition. Now I owe the government 80. Shes already gotten her refund, what do I do?Edit: The reason I wasnt living with my mom is because she took a job offer in another state. I didnt choose to leave home.  <response>: If you dont believe your mom had a right to claim you you believe you were neither a qualifying child nor a qualifying relative then submit your return on paper. The IRS will reach out to both of you to settle the dispute, and youll provide them with what proof you have that you were allowed to claim yourself probably proof that you provided over half of your own support.
