I currently live with my parents but they are not claiming me this year and I am doing my own taxes, when it asks for household income for education expenses, is that including my parents?

Let's clarify some other things.  How old are you?  Are you a full-time student? If you live at home, why are your parents not claiming you?

I am 20, full time but pay majority of my education, work full time and support myself other than housing.. figured doing my own taxes would benefit myself better.
