I graduated from college in April 2006 and am now a teacher. I made $18,000 in 2006. Since I didn't get income until August, my mother said that she could claim me as a dependent. However, one of the criteria for dependent status is being a student for 5 months, but I was only in school for one semester in 2006 (4 months). Can I still qualify for dependent status for this year? Will that mean that all of my federal income withheld in 2006 will be refunded to me?
