I am 16 years old and earned $4,000 in 2011. My parents are claiming me as a dependent. Do I need to file a tax return and can I claim myself?
ANSWER
The BIDaWIZ Team's Answer:
You cannot claim yourself on your tax return if your parents are entitled to claim you as a dependent. You do not have to file a tax return since your earned income is less than $5,800 for the 2011 tax year.
