The rest of your question did not come through. But, until you turn 19, you would still meet the age requirement for your parents to claim you as a dependent. 

 

The rules for claiming a dependent, which all must be answered "yes" to claim as a qualifying dependent:

1. Related to the taxpayer/spouse

2. Under 19 or under 24 if in school full-time

3. Live with the taxpayer/spouse more than 6 months of the year

4. Financially support more than half of the support

5. Relates to Divorce Cases--the rule is that the taxpayer/spouse is the only one filing the claim for the dependent
