We're trying to file our returns and learned that either my parents or partner could claim me as a dependent. I'm over 24 and was a full-time student for half of 2017. I don't have a W-2 as I didn't work, but I did receive financial aid which sort of supported me.
Based on my situation below, who would be eligible to claim me? Also, do I have to report the money remaining from grants and allowance from parents/partner as "taxable income"?
Situation:
1) Tuition was fully covered by financial aid (grants only) and I had less than $4000 left over after tuition that I got to spend on textbooks, other school expenses and personal expenses
2) Both parents and partner sent me some money - Amount is almost equivalent. Let's say they both sent me $1000 each.
3) Partner paid for 80% of rent, groceries, household necessities, meals at all times in in 2017 and paid 100% utilities, renters insurance etc.
