Hi! I wanted to know if my household income is just what I earn on my W-2

I live with my two roommates, I'm assuming they don't count as dependents

No you do not enter your roommates as dependents. You file your own tax return using your filing status as Single and enter only your own information and your own income.

Correct.

Roommates are not usually a member of your household for tax purposes unless you support them and they make under a certain amount.

For certain state credits, the state wants to know your household income. This would be your income only if the other people in your house are simply roommates. If you also need to report household expenses, you could only report your share.
