Well ive been outta school for a while now, so my dad cant claim me, will that affect how much I get back in my return? I know he claimed me last year and boned me outta the stimulas check. So more or less my question is will I get a better tax return because hes not claiming me this year?

It will all depend on income, your tax bracket, how much interest you have paid on your student loans, if you own a house, if you are married etc… That one change may or may not effect your return hugely. I mean yes you will get the return not him if there is one, but you will also owe any shortages.

depends on what you made and what you paid, if you get anything then YES it will be better than last years outcome…
but, if you owe, then it will not be any better.
this isnt one of those universal things.

owning a house = write off, not more money owed.
I thought you were like 17 too.

9 times out of 10, “taking a year off” /= 1 year.

If you are Single, do not own a home, and do not have kids, you will pay the highest possible tax.
on another note, it’s amazing how many people at my work commit tax fraud, IE claiming 10 ect…

this is categorically untrue.
the original poster’s question is virtually impossible to answer without significantly more information.

Yes, your return _should_/might increase. My father claimed me last year and my return was like $100 I checked on turbotax and if he Didn’t claim me it would have been about 900-1100 bucks.
