If you have gross income of $5,050 or more in 2024 then no one can claim you as dependent.

That depends on whether you earned any income.   If you had over $5050 of income--not counting any Social Security, no one can claim you as a dependent.    If you had less than $5050 of income and are being supported by your parents, they can claim you as a qualified relative dependent.

Additionally, it depends if you WERE a student. 

If you were NOT a student (NOT in school at least part of at least 5 months in 2024) you can't be claimed as a Qualifying Child but you COULD be their Qualifying Relative. 

If you attended school January through May 2024, (or any 5 months in 2024) you could be a student for 2024 and thus their Qualifying Child for 2024.
