Tax Return Question

Alright, I'm going to college right now and just recently I started working part-time last November (2002 earnings < $500). My parents claim me as a dependent, and my question was this: what do I do with my W-2? Do my parents have to include my wage info somewhere on their return? I was looking at their forms and couldn't find anything that asked about dependent wages...

Thanks in advance.

You file anyway. Get your withheld taxes back. When they claim you, it prevents you from claiming your personal exemption.

do your parents still claim you as they normally would?

EDIT: Never mind, figured it out... I'm in the middle of filing online as I type this 🙂
