I assume you moved in 2007 and you lived with your mother all of 2006. She can claim you as a dependent if you earned less than $3,300 in 2006.
If you earned more than $3,300 in 2006 she can still claim you as a dependent if in 2006 you were
1. Under 19 or
2. Under 24 and a full-time student for five months
and you did not provide over half of your own support.

If you're filing your 2006 return, the ones being filed now, what matters is if you were a dependent in 2006, not now. So if you could be claimed as a dependent last year, then you'd note that on your tax return.
If you were under 19, or under 24 and a full-time student for some part of at least 5 months of the year, you lived with your mom for over half of 2006, and you didn't provide over half of your own support, then she can claim you. Or even if you're over those ages, but she provided more than half of your support for 2006 and you didn't make over $3300 in 2006, she can still claim you for 2006.
If you've moved, are starting a job and filling out a W-4 form, then you'd put that nobody can claim you, and claim yourself, since that would be for 2007.

It depends on several factors. How old are you? When did you move out? Did your mother provide more than half of your support for the year? How much money did you make? Were you a student last year? If you are under 19, lived at home for more than half the year and your mother provided more than half your support for the year, then definitely, yes, and you CANNOT claim yourself, regardless of what she does. If you are older and/or not a student, the rules change.

Im pretty sure that she can still claim you as a dependent. It might swing on how much she actually supports you or how little you can actually support yourself. Basically, I don't think you have to live under the same roof, but there may be other requirements involved in claiming.

If you are living on your own, have a job and are supporting yourself, then no, she cannot claim you as a dependent. If you are in school and she is helping pay for school or helping you with your living expenses, then she probably can.
If its a case of you just growing up and working and living on your own, then no, she can't.

The easy thing to do is just call her and ask if she claimed you or is going to. If you lived with her for most of the year last year and she paid more than half of your support than she can claim you.
