Dependency Status

Hello, 

 

I am filing independently this year for the first time. However, when I am e-filing, there is a question that asks if someone else can claim me as a dependent. 

 

While it is my understanding that I could be claimed by my parents because I am 19 and enrolled in college, however they are not going to claim me this year. The issue is that I am unsure if they could claim me as I am living separately from them and provide my own financial support. 

 

I am just a little confused as to whether or not I could still be claimed as a dependent, as this is also affecting my eligibility for the Recovery Rebate Credit.
