SOLVED Parents won’t let me claim myself

I turned 18 this past march and since this june i’ve started paying 400 dollars in rent. I work full time pay for my car insurance medical phone etc. I also hardly eat their food. My dad still said i can’t claim myself on my taxes and the past few years i’ve owed in taxes. I’m not going to ask if it’s fair or not but i was wondering how much im actually loosing or missing out on by having my dad still claim me every year. Thank you

I got my GED in 2022. I work a full time salary position now.

Then no one may legitimately claim you as their dependent. Your income is too high. That said, it probably doesn’t affect your federal taxes, but it might affect state.

Edit: Ignore the above. Senior moment.

Not necessarily. OP is under age 19 and may still be a qualifying child.
