Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It comes down to who pays more than 50% of your total support for the year.

 

If that is you no one else can claim you as a dependent. If your parents are paying more than 50%, they may be able to claim you as a dependent (see the information in the previous post).

 

You should count the loan payments they made as part of your total support along with housing, medical, vehicle costs, clothing, food, etc.
