My parents' tax preparer says I should have filed as an independent this year. I am a 22 year old graduate school student living off-campus and made $9700.00 last year.

My parents provided for more than half of my support (more than $9700) and paid for my tuition ($50,000). Their tax preparer is saying that if both my parents and I agree that I am independent, then I can file as one. But it seems like I simply don't meet the conditions of filing independent.
