I don't know the exact details, but if your aunt pays for Housing, Food, Rent/Mortgage, Heat, Lights etc. I suspect that she supports you.
However, she can choose tor you to not be her dependent.
This may not be wise.
- You have a part time job, and will have to file a tax return.
- You will still get the standard deduction.
Your aunt can choose not to claim you as a dependent
- If she does she would file her return as Single
- If she does claim you she would file a Head of Household
- This status would give her some tax advantages.
