I'm in college & a dependent of my parents but if I file my own taxes separately next year and say I'm a dependent, they won't be notified that I have a job, correct?

I'm 18+ & a dependent of my parents but I don't want my parents to find out I have a job when I file my taxes next year (nothing shady, they just want me to focus on school solely but I want some pocket money).  If I file my own taxes and say I'm a dependent (I understand I will have less of a refund, but willing to do this so my parents don't find out I have a job), they won't find out that I have a job, correct? No one will notify them?
