I'm using turbo tax to file my taxes since I only have two W-2's it should be pretty easy. However I turned 19 this year... can anyone still claim me? I live @ home with my mother and step-father.

I don't know wtf to do with this question... last year I used turbotax and didn't have any problems after all the preliminary questions were over.

Thanks,
Adam

    I think they can still claim you if you are going to college.

    You should be able to use a 1040EZ. If your parents provided more than 50% of your support they can claim you as a deduction and there are instructions included with the 1040EZ that tell you what to do. You're parents and you can't both claim you as a deduction.

    worth checking with your parents. 19 + college if applicable means they are most likly claiming you.

    Yep, you can still be claimed by your parents. You should ask them if they are or not.

    This is the key - a person can be claimed only once.

    You might want to talk to your folks about running the numbers both ways - with them claiming you, and you claiming you.
