@evolecap - HOLD ON
The question you are asked is CAN you be claimed by someone else.
Your parents have the option to claim you, but if they don't, that doesn't change your answer to whether they CAN claim you.
So it may be a moot point to determine who is claiming you.
Since you are under 24 and a full time student, who is paying more than 50% of your expenses? Expenses means housing, food, utilties, insurance, college costs, etc, etc, etc. if the answer is someone else is paying more than 50% of your expenses, they you CAN be claimed by someone else and have to check that box on your tax return.
If someone claimed you, it may well be one of your parents..... how do you really know neither is claiming you? are you sure?
