Each tax year is separate. If you are claimed as a dependent for 2018, it does not affect the tax return you file for tax year 2019 when you prepare and file it in 2020. Do you need help with determining whether someone can claim you as a dependent? Did you have income of your own? You might still need to file a tax return of your own that says you can be claimed as someone else's dependent for 2018 if you had any self-employment income over $400, or if you had tax withheld from your paychecks and want a tax refund.
