Tax frustration

I'm kinda pissed off at my dad now. He insists on still claiming me as a dependent even though I made enough money last year to be in the same tax bracket as him I think.

It really makes me mad because I paid a lot on my college loans and over $4,000 in interest. I could deduct up to $2,500 of the interest if I claim myself on my return. I can't deduct any of it if he claims me though - he gets to deduct it. It really pisses me off because he has paid $0 toward my college expenses, yet he gets the deduction for it? I think I deserve whatever refund he gets from the $2,500 deduction. If you assume the 25% tax bracket, that's $625 I could be getting! GRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I'm pretty sure that he doesn't pay more than half of my living expenses anymore, which is the only way he could possibly claim me for 2006 taxes. I'm not in school anymore, so he can't use that reason. It makes me want to move out because this is just ridiculous. I'm not his freaking dependent anymore! All he pays for me is cell phone, internet, less than half my food, health & dental insurance (my share is only about $125 a month) and only a fraction of my housing and utilities (I pay him some rent money). I pay for everything else myself.

I hate living at home.
