When you are legally married, your tax filing choices are to file as married filing separately or married filing jointly. You cannot file as “Single.” So if you get married before 2019 ends, keep that in mind.
If you file a joint return for 2019 with your new spouse, no one else can claim you as a dependent.
If you file separate returns you can be claimed as a dependent. But your own return must use your MFS filing status.
Whatever family consequences you have if you secretly get married are yours to deal with. But please avoid putting unsuspecting parents in the position of commiting possible tax fraud.
