I moved out of my parents house in September 2006, and it is now May 2007, so it will be a full year of being on my own in September. They claimed me for last years tax season (because i lived there most of the year), but I think I need to change my W2 so I can claim myself. I work full time, and I'm not going to school. I'm 19, and make about 22,000 annually. How should I file my taxes? And will I probably owe next year? THANK YOU soo much!!

you should claim yourself.
if you are not a full time student , by law your parents can no longer claim you with that kind of income, so you are truly on your own now.

You are correct, they won't be able to claim you for 2007, so you could change your W-4 to take an allowance for yourself. Whether you make that change or not, you can claim your own exemption when you file your tax return for 2007 - if you change it, you'll get a little more in each paycheck, but it all evens out at the end of the year when you file and either get a refund or have to pay.

Your total federal income tax liability for 2007 will be around $1650. If you have more that that withheld during the year, the extra will be refunded to you. If you don't have enough withheld, you'd owe the balance with your return.

You should change your W4 to 1 presumably you claimed 0 before. And depends on how many you claimed before when you were at your parents which should be 0, you should not owe.
