If someone rightfully claims you, you cannot claim yourself, and in that event, you will miss claiming your own $4,000 exemption which may increase your refund.

Actually, no one needs your permission to claim you as long as they have the right to do so . per the IRS .

The following guidelines are necessary for someone to claim you:

Qualifying Child Dependent :

Qualifying Relative Dependent:

If, after examining the above guidelines, you determine that no one has the right to claim you as their dependent, you should file a paper return (which you can do through TurboTax), claiming yourself and send it in to the IRS. They will then contact you and whoever claimed you and decide who should get your exemption and adjust your tax result accordingly.

You "fear" your uncle claimed you but mention no proof of that. If your uncle is on Social Security--per you-- he does not gain anything by claiming a dependent, since he would not even need to file a tax return if his only income is SS. Without income earned from working, there are no child-related credits available to someone who claims a dependent.

If you try to e-file your own return and it is rejected because someone wrongly claimed you, then print, sign and mail your tax return and let the IRS sort it out.
