Yes. You are a dependent because your parents paid a majority of your expenses.
To be considered a “qualifying child” of your parents:
- Relationship. Your child must be related to you;
- Age. Your child must be under age 19 or, if a full-time student, under age 24. There is no age limit if your child is permanently and totally disabled.
- Residency. Your child must live with you for more for more than half the year, not including temporary absences such as school, vacation, business, medical care, military service, or detention in a juvenile facility;
- Support. Your child did not provide more than half their own support;
- No one else is claiming them, such as the other parent, in cases of divorced parents.
See Rules for Claiming a Dependent on Your Tax Return.
The IRS also has an app (Whom May I Claim as a Dependent) to guide you through the process.
