If you made more than $4050 in 2016, they can't claim you. You were too old to be a qualifying child and made too much to be a qualifying relative.

And just so you know - the age criteria is based on your age as of December 31st of the tax year. Once you become 24 (as of 12/31), your student status is no longer relevant to being claimed as a dependent.
