Education
If you are under age 24 and a full time student, your parents can claim you as a dependent if you did not provide for more than half of your own support in 2019. This test is slightly different from the test whether your patents provided more than half of your support.
To determine support, you can use the IRS worksheet.
If you find that you provided more than half of your own support in 2019, then you can file as a non-dependent. You can only file by mail as you cannot e-file if your parents have already claimed you as a dependent. Your parents would then ave to amend their return.
