Can my mom claim me as a dependent if im 20 full time work and part time college?

[jsardina1]

Im 20, I worked full-time and part time college. I live with my mom. She pays rent, I dont. I take care of myself other than that.

No, since you are over 18 and not a full-time student.  You will get the $4050 dependency exemption on your own tax return by answering No to "can someone else claim you as a dependent?"  

Here are the 7 tests for claiming a dependent:

1) You provided more than half of their financial support. More info

2) They made less than $4,050 in gross income during 2016 unless they are a qualifying child    (under 19 OR a full time student under 24 OR permanently disabled)

3) They live with you or they are related to you.

4) They are a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.

5) They aren't (or won't be) claimed as a dependent by someone else.

6) They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse.

7) You are not being claimed as a dependent on someone else's return.
