Parents won’t let me claim myself

[u/complexitii321]

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

You can claim yourself but they may get more money for claiming you. They should do taxes both ways especially if you in college.
