We are both 32 and live in CA. My mother claimed us as qualifying relatives in the past. She still supports us and pays for our (individual) health plans. I asked if she can still benefit by claiming us as dependents, but my accountant said no because I earned $15k and that I should file jointly with my husband. My mother says that her accountant needs my W2 for her tax return. I don't think she does because I need that to file my own tax return. Am I correct?

You are correct. You can't be a qualifying relative because you make too much money.
Although I don't know how much you and your spouse will owe in taxes, you should file just to try to get some withholding back.
Her accountant doesn't need your W-2, you do.

You don’t say what your spouse makes. You mother may be able to claim her as a qualifying relative dependent, but that requires you to file as Married Filing Separately.
