If you made more than $4050, were 21 and not a full time student, then you are not eligible to be claimed as a dependent. 

You were 19 or over at the end of the year and not a full time student so are disqualified due to age from being a qualifying child.

You made more than $4050, so you are disqualified to be a qualifying relative.

Were you over 18 at the end of 2016?  Were you a full time student (HS or college) for at least part of any 5 months during the year?  Did you make more than $4050?  Did you pay  more than half of your own support?
