After you file

If you made more than $4700 in 2023, then your mom cannot claim you as a dependent on her tax return.  She loses the $500 tax credit for claiming you.   The amount in box 1 of your W-2 is going to make a difference, so that is why you need to ask here again when you have your W-2 in hand.    It sounds like you only worked for about three months, so we cannot guess what is going to be in box 1 of your W-2.
