Age — must be under the age of 19 at the end of the tax year, or under the age of 24 if a full-time student for at least five months of the year, or be permanently and totally disabled at any time during the year.
Support — did not provide more than one-half of his/her own support for the year.
Qualifying Relative
You can claim a child, relative, friend, fiancé (etc.) as a dependent on your 2020 taxes as long as they meet all of the following requirements :
"I wasn’t attending school and I was working" ALMOST certainly means you can't be a dependent (see rules at other post).
Dad is going to have to amend his return, to remove you. You will not be able to e-file. But, you do not need to wait for Dad to file his amended return. You can file your paper return now.
