You should discuss the dependent rules with your parents. You said you moved out after 6 months, the dependent child rule requires you live at their home more than half the year which would be 7/3/17, did you move out before day 183? Were you a full time student for at least 5 months of the year? Even if a day in May, you would qualify for the 5 month rule. The next question at hand is did you provide over half your own support costs
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p501.pdf ? It is not calculated by the number of months but total cost for the year, so you may still qualify to claim yourself.
The real question is who should be claiming him in this "transition" year to adulthood. Bottom line is: you two have to agree on who is going to claim his exemption. Using actual costs as determined by the IRS of whom paid over half the support of the individual.
