If I attended college part-time for at least five full months (Jan-May) in 2016, can my father claim me as a dependent on his taxes?

You do not qualify as a full-time student.

If you are under 19 at the end of 2016 and your father provided more than half of your support, he can claim you as a dependent.

If you are over 19, he can still claim you as a dependent if your income in 2016 is less than $4,050.
