First make sure you have the right to file the dependant. Then you can file your taxes and wait to see what happens or spend time on the phone with the IRS, or call the persons who may have claimed the dependant. If you know that you are the only person who is supposed to file the dependant, then I don't think it matters so much. Another person doing so illegally would be the one in trouble.

You claimed same dependent as someone else?

Hope the IRS or the other person doesn't find out- because only one person can claim the same dependent in any given year. You can rotate years. If it is discovered that you both claimed the dependent in the same year and the IRS catches it - one of you will have your tax deduction voided and you will owe the IRS more money and maybe penalty fees. Hope you don't get caught!


Can a person age 19 be claimed as an exemption on federal tax forms as an IRS dependent?

Yes if and when all of the necessary rules have been met by each taxpayer that is named on the 1040 income tax return. Not as a IRS dependent but as a dependent on the qualifying taxpayers income tax return that qualifies to claim the 19 as an dependent for the exemption amount on the 1040 income tax form. For all of the rules go to the IRS gov website and use the search box for PUBLICATION 17 go to chapter 3. Personal Exemptions and Dependents Each test is explained in chapter 3 of the publication 17 and you will also find the worksheet that you can use to determine if the support test is met.


How do I find out who claimed me dependent on their tax return?

The IRS won't tell you that. If you believe that no one was entitled to claim you as a dependent, file a paper income tax return and take your own exemption. The IRS will sort it out. If you were a full-time student for any part of five months last year and lived with someone who was supporting you, that person is probably entitled to take you as a dependent on their tax return. If you made less than $3,400 last year and someone else provided over 1/2 of your support, you were their dependent.
