Hi,
I'll be 26 in Jan. 2017. I'm a full time student in a graduate level program and currently living at home with my dad. I pay for all my other expenses besides housing. For 2016 my income will probably come in around $5800 - $6000. My dad wants to claim me as a dependent but I want to know
1. if he can claim me because I'm older than 24 and
2. whether my benefits will be maximized if I let him claim me as a dependent or if I file independently.
Thanks!
