Alright, so here's a summary of the facts. Looking to know if my parents can again claim me as a dependent or not.
- 20 years old
- full-time student (they pay about 2/3, I pay 1/3)
- employed full-time, salary this year of approximately $25,000
- lived at home from 01/01 until 09/01
- lived in own place 09/01 through present, and therefore they did not provide me with four months of support
- was on a month-long trip 06/29 through 07/25 and therefore they did not provide me with a month's worth of support then
- pay my own car payment, albeit under their name as I bought the car when I was 17
- pay my own car insurance; however, it is paid to my father who then pays it
- under father's health insurance
I believe I am entitled to not be claimed as a dependent. As far as I understand, if I pay more than 50% of my support myself, they cannot claim me. 4 months alone+1 month alone on road=5 months. Out of the remaining 6 months, I am sure I paid 1/6th of my support myself.
Please help
