That depends on which form you are claiming it on.

If you are talking about Form 1040, that means just yourself. If you are not eligible to claim yourself, then you are not eligible to claim anyone else either.

If you are talking about Form W-4 (the withholding form that you give to your employer), stop and read the form more carefully. It does NOT ask you to fill in the number of people (dependents) you are claiming. It asks you to fill in the number of withholding allowances you are claiming. Most people have way too much tax taken out of their paychecks because they mistakenly believe that the number of withholding allowances they claim on their W-4 should be the same as the number of exemptions they claim on their 1040. Most people should claim MORE withholding allowances.

To calculate the number of withholding allowances you should claim, either use the worksheet in the Form W-4 instructions or use the IRS withholding calculator here:

How can you find out who claimed you on their taxes?

You cannot find out who claimed you on their taxes. This would require the IRS to be telling you information on another taxpayer. I disagree, but I know that they will not give you that information. What they will do is side with you if the person did not have a right to claim you and they will allow you to claim yourself and take you off the other persons return and make them pay back and refunds plus interest and penalties. The person had to have your name as it is on your social security card, your birthday, and your social security number. How many people have this information?
