How do I know if I'm a dependent

I turned 26 in 2016. I live in an apartment. Was a full-time student all year. Parents paid for most of my living expenses, but I did earn income. Should I say yes to "Can someone claim you as a dependent?"?

You must pass the following test to qualify as a dependent.

  1. Cannot be the qualifying child of anyone else.                             
  2. Lived with you all year.
  3. Gross income for the year must be less than $4,050.                           
  4. You must have provided more than half of her total support during the calendar year.
