Unsure if my parents can file me as dependent & upcoming filing deadline

Few issues where 2022 filing deadline is coming up and I'm not entirely sure whether this issue can be resolved by just letting my parents claim me or not. I was a 21 yr old student up until I graduated in May 2022 and worked full time from June 2022 to the end of the year where my personal income was greater than the ~$4000 requirement. My parents did support me and pay for my tuition and board while I finishing my degree up until May where I moved back in with them in June and paid for all of my own expenses, though they did no charge me rent. So, I am a bit lost of where the line can be drawn whether they can claim me or not as I was supported by them until May (not sure if this qualifies as 'half of the year') but I made income above the $4400 requirement and supported myself for the other half of the year.

My second issue is that the deadline is tomorrow 10/16/2023, but I think I saw that there is an extension to 10/21/2023 if you are rejected just before that? I submitted online for the 3rd time this year, knowing I'd probably be rejected again, only just a few days ago. I'm not sure if I should just let my parents claim me and try to submit online again (and hopefully not be rejected since it won't say the issue of being claimed 2X by myself and my parents) or if I should dispute it and submit via mail including a note explaining my situation. And if I do mail, do I even have the time to? 

 

Thanks
