How old are you?
If you are under 24 and a full time student, then your parents would still claim you as a dependent even if you made $14,000. When you file your return, you will check the box that says someone else can claim you as a dependent.
If the below applies to you, then your parents can claim you as a dependent. If not, then since you made over $14,000, they cannot claim you as a dependent.
The following criteria must be met to claim someone as a qualifying child:
- Your child (including adopted and foster children), your sibling, or a descendent of any of them.
- Age 18 or younger at the end of the tax year OR under 24 (and younger than you and your spouse) if they are a full-time student
- Lived with you for more than 6 months during the tax year
- They did not provide more than half of their own support
- They did not file a joint return, unless it was to claim a refund
