Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Check with your parents to be sure they are not claiming you as a dependent on their return.

You figure whether you have provided more than half of your total support by comparing the amount you contributed  with the entire amount of support that you received from all sources. This includes support you provided from your own funds.

You pay for:  food, gas, school supplies, etc.

Your parents pay for:  food--They feed you sometimes since you live at home, right? rent/utilities?  tuition? clothing?  Insurance?

You'll have to do the math to see if you or your parents provide more than half of your support.
