Yes. A dependent can file a tax return for several reasons.
One, they're required to file because of their income. For example, Single/Married Filing Jointly dependents under age 65 are required to file if any of the following apply.
Your unearned income (interest and ordinary dividends, capital gain distributions, etc.) is over $900.00 for 2008 ($950.00 for 2009).
Your earned income was over $5,450.00 for 2008 ($5,700.00 for 2009).
Your gross income (earned plus unearned income) was more than the larger of $900.00 ($950.00 for 2009) or your earned income up to $5,150.00 ($5,400.00 for 2009) plus $300.00.
Two, if they're not required to file, they still can file for a refund of tax that was withheld from their earnings.

Been told that I cannot file taxes because parents claimed me as a dependent but made over 3000 is this true?
Absolutely, positively not.Whether your parents or anyone else claims you as a dependent has absolutely no effect on your obligation or ability to file taxes. Some people mistakenly believe that if your parents claim you as a dependent, they claim your income, your withholding and your refund, too. This is absolutely not true.People who make more than a certain amount are obligated to file taxes. However, ANYONE is permitted to file taxes. If you are due a refund, you must file taxes in order to get the refund. Your parents cannot get your refund for you. Whether your parents can claim you as a dependent has absolutely nothing to do with you. You must file your own taxes for your own income and withholdings. And if you owe taxes, you are obligated to file and pay them.
