1040EZ Form - Line 5

If you do not pay for more than half of your living expenses, your parents or someone else can claim you as a dependant on their tax return. To find out if you are claimed as a dependant, ask your guardian or parents. Dependants must check the appropriate box on line 5 and then use the worksheet on page 2 of Form 1040EZ to calculate the value they will need to place on line 5. If you are single and not a dependant put $9350 on line 5, if you are married enter $18700 on line 5. These values are equal to the sum of your standard deduction and personal exemptions, which is the amount of income that is tax-free. If you earned more income than these values you will pay tax only on income over these values, if you earned less income than these values you should get a refund for income withheld for taxes.
