Get your taxes done using TurboTax
That depends, since you were not under the age of 24 at the end of the tax year, you would not be claimed as a "Qualifying Child", HOWEVER, you might be your parent's "Qualifying Relative" in which case, YES, they would claim you.
To be their qualifying relative, the following requirements must be met:
- You can't be ... the qualifying child of any other taxpayer.
- You either (a) must be related to them in one of the ways listed under Relatives who don't have to live with you , or (b) must live with you all year as a member of your household.
- Your gross income for the year must be less than... $4,200 for tax year 2019.
- Your parents must provide more than half of your total support for the year.
(There are exceptions for temporary absences, such as school or the military.)
If you do not fulfill the requirements, you would claim yourself on your tax return.
Even if you are a dependent and your parents claim you, you may still need to file your own tax return(s).
