Yes, you do but your standard deduction will be adjusted. I am attaching a worksheet which shows how your standard deduction would be calculated differently as being claimed on someone else's return.  See Standard deduction worksheet

In the program, under "My Info", once you mark you can be claimed by someone else, it will adjust your standard deduction.

If your 2018 income is more than $4,150, you cannot be a dependent.
