Your father can claim you as a dependent if you made less than $5,050 in 2024 and he provided more than half of your financial support. Otherwise, you don't qualify as his dependent. For more information see the following TurboTax article: Who can I claim as my dependent?

I made more than $5,050 in 2024, but he paid more than half of my financial support while I was living with him. Even though he supported me for more than 6 months of the year, is he not qualified to claim me because my personal income was too high?

No, your father can't claim you as a dependent because your income was greater than $5,050 and you weren't a full-time student 24 or under.

You would have to meet all of the requirements below for your father to claim you as a dependent:

To determine if ‌you are a qualifying child, the following questions must be true:

You must be related to the person claiming you,
You can’t be claimed as a dependent by anyone else.
You must be a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
If You are married, you can’t file a joint return with your spouse.
You must be under the age of 19 (or 24 for full-time students).
- No age limit for permanently and totally disabled children.
You must have lived with your father for more than half the year (exceptions apply).
You didn't provide more than half of your own support for the year.

If you don't qualify as a qualifying child, you may be a qualifying relative. The following questions must be true:

You can’t be claimed as a dependent by someone else.
You must be a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
If You are married, you can’t file a joint return with your spouse.
You must live with your father all year.
You can’t have made more than $5,050 in income in 2024.
Your father must provide more than half of your total support for the year.

For additional information, review the TurboTax article Rules for Claiming a Dependent on Your Tax Return.

Are you planning on filing a tax return for 2024? If your total income is under the filing requirement, you don't have to file a tax return. The federal filing requirement depends on your filing status, your age, and your income.

Refer to the TurboTax Help article Do I need to file a federal return this year? to determine if you are required to file a tax return.
