Hello,
I am trying to figure out for my dad if it possible for him to claim me as a dependent.
I am 23 years old and I started graduate school last May. I didn't necessarily provide for myself, but neither did my parents. It was through my school loans for most of the year. I was providing for myself before I moved and started graduated school (Jan-May), but I only made about $4500 for that time frame/the year. I have not lived at home for about 2 years now. I am not married and will be filing as single.
My feeling is that the answer is no since I have not lived at home and they do not provide support for me, but I didn't know if being a student under 24 played a role or not. Also, I know that as a an undergraduate how much I made for the year made a difference. I did not know if that still applies as a graduate student.
