I am a college student. My parents pay for my tuition, but I pay for all other expenses. I make over $20K. Do I still need to be claimed by my parents?
They also pay for any medical expenses that occur. I pay all other expenses (rent, utilities, groceries, clothes, car, phone, etc).
Well it #1) depends on your age. If over age 23 at the end of 2017 they cannot claim you. #2) If you pay *more* than half of your total support for the year they cannot claim you.
