"Okay so this is my biggest question for this upcoming year. Last year I made arou d $6500 as a student, this year I made ahout $12000 as a student. Can my parents still claim me. I plan to file for a tax return because I had around 4500 taken from those 12000 that I wish to get back. I just don't want to cause an issue where my parents dont get a tax break. The answer to do they support more than 50%. Yes they do, they provide almost all of it, books are ridiculous now a days. And with the 4500 that I lost in taxes I was only left with 6500 to help with my tuition. Could someone please answer this question. Because I now make over the 10,150 am I forced to file independently or no, im only 19 years old, I just turned 19 in november this year. "
