Can a parent file me as dependent if i made 15k dollars, I'm 21 and a also full time student. I live with my parents and they pay most (if not all) of my expenses.

I work PRN for my job, if that matters. And I live in Virginia.

Yes, your parents can claim you as a dependent since you are under the age of 24 and you are full-time student. You can still be claimed as a qualifying child on their tax return. You can file your own return to seek a refund of tax withheld from your paychecks but in MY INFO when it asks if you can be claimed as someone else's dependent you must say YES.
