Absolutely!
The only thing is that you can not claim yourself as a dependent.
As a matter of fact, as an unmarried dependent, you are required to pay taxes and file returns of any of the following apply:
Your unearned income was more than $850.
Your earned income was more than $5,150.
Your gross income was more than the larger of —
$850, or Your earned income (up to $4,850) plus $300.
For more information, see IRS publication 501 to find out if you must pay taxes and file returns or not.

Yes you can, and if you made over $5150, you are required to.
Be sure to check the box on your return that says you're claimed as a dependent.

You file your taxes but you DON'T claim yourself. If you do it will cause a major problem for whomever claims you.
