    She might still be able to claim you if you are under 19 on Dec 31 or under 24 and a full time student.  Or any age if you made less than $4,500 for 2023.

    I suppose so, but what I mean is that in her W4 she has me as dependent under 17 years old (2000$). If I already turned 18 this year, should she put me as "others you depend (500$)"?

    And if I got a full time job and I want to claim myself, what is the benefit and Disadvantages.
