The rules for claiming parents as dependents on your tax return and whether they can be included in your "family" for determining Family Size when you apply for an Income Driven Repayment plan are different. For the rules about the student loan repayment, please refer to this page: How is ‘family size’ defined for income-driven repayment (IDR) plans?
For tax purposes, you can claim a parent as a dependent -- even if they don't live with you -- as long as they meet the other requirements. I've included a brief list here, but there is a more detailed article here: Can I Claim My Parent as a Dependent?
Based on those requirements, you can decide whether to claim your parents as dependents or not. But, if they don't live with you, then they won't be included in your family size for the SAVE application.
