Since you are over 23, you can't be claimed as a qualifying child. If your gross income for the year was over $3300, then you can't be claimed as a qualifying relative either, and those are the only two ways to claim someone. If you made under $3300 total for the year, and your parents paid over half of your total support, then they can probably claim you.
As to your kids, if they lived with you, then they'd be YOUR qualifying children, and nobody else but their biological father could claim them. And he could only claim them with your written permission, or if a court order gave him that right.

I don't think they can claim you. Even if you do not have any income you do not meet the age requirement. You must be under 23 or disabled. It stinks, my sister still supports her adult daughter and cannot claim her. I looked into this yesterday for her.
They might be able to claim your children IF they meet the requirements. Did the children live with your parents for at least half the year? Are they US citizens? Did your parents provide at least half of their support?

quite a number of unfavorable people look to have youngsters to make funds. i'm not stereotyping, yet people strengthen youngsters in undesirable, deprived properties and anticipate those youngsters to make a residing. better many times they drop out of school and purely rob people to make funds. per chance i'm biased because I quite have considered this before, and diverse unfavorable people are not above defrauding and mooching off people they understand for survival. So, i imagine it really is incorrect and worse nonetheless, it backfires. The cycle may even repeat if youthful female little ones are uneducated and get pregnant, which I have also considered.

The rules for dependents changed in 2005.
If you have less than $3,300 in income (taxable or not), and your parents paid over half of your support, they can claim you as a dependent. If this is the case, they may be able to claim your children as well if they supported the children.

I really doubt it.
They may be able to claim your kids, though.
But with the Earned Income Credit, you may get more back from taxes than they would.
