Yes, to claim you as their dependent, they need your W-2 to see how much you make in 2019. It will help them to decide either you provide more than half of your own support or if you make more than $4200 as part of the requirements. For more information, see Credit for Other Dependents.
However, they do not include your W-2 amount on their taxes.
