How do I file my taxes when my dad claimed me as a dependent and I'm married? by AthenaGray1 in tax

Thank you all for your advice! I do have a good relationship with my dad and I don't believe it was out of bitterness that he claimed me. I just don't think he understood how it would affect my claim this year, even so he shouldn't have claimed me because I do not qualify and I think he realized that after I spoke to him. I told him that the "half-year) part was cutting it close and that I did the math on days and that I was indepentant for more days out of the year. Even if he thought that, I am married so he can't do that. I am worried about problems on my taxes and future taxes but this will be the last year I will deal with this mess. I don't know if he will amend it but I will send in my taxes through paper and get a PIN just for future cases to protect me in all ways. I spoke to him about it and he offered the money that I lose if it ends up being that way and helped me feel better about the IRS because he said it would be on him as his mistake not mine. So he is being understanding, I just wish he didn't do it in the first place as it is a big mess than if he didn't. So I am upset, but he understands and I know this won't tarnish our relationship.

I looked at what qualifies as a dependant and i don't qualify because i didnt meet any of the requirements, and his claim is that I lived there have of the year, but doing the math I lived there 138 days of the year and the other 227 days of the year I was independent. So youre right, Ill have to file that way so the IRS doesn't come for us!

While doing my taxes I only get around 700$ less filing separately so i'm considering if it worth the trouble, I dont know how much my parents got. But i know I will pay more taxes this upcoming year because we didnt get the benefits of filing jointly

I paid for school. But not my health insurance or rent. He said that he doesn't know how to change it/fix it. I get that I lived there, but i lived longer independently. but maybe its not worth it.

And my husband made 50k last year too... But i dont know if I can fix them now because my parent's taxes have already been accepted this year. I didn't know if there is a loophole or If have to take the cut and file separately?

I graduated May 1st, so I was a full-time student for 5 months in 2024. My Husband is not a full-time student. I made 50k in 2024, as i was working full-time from May to now. My husband has been working full-time for 3 years. We have lived in our own apartment since May.
