There are two categories under which your parents can claim you as dependent.
Qualifying child -- they can't claim you because of your age unless you are permanently and totally disabled at any time during the year, regardless of age.
Qualifying Relative -- yes, they can claim you. Here are the requirements for your parents to claim you as dependent:
1. The person cannot be your qualifying child or the qualifying child of anyone else.
2. The person either (a) must be related to you, or (b) must live with you all year as a member of your household (and your relationship must not violate local law).
3. The person's gross income for the year must be less than $3,400.
4. You must provide more than half of the person's total support for the year.
5. You cannot claim a married person who files a joint return as a dependent unless that joint return is only a claim for refund and there would be no tax liability for either spouse on separate returns.

That's not true about the disability. If you live with them all year, and your gross income is under $3,300 they can probably claim you as a qualifying relative. Go to IRS,gov and look up Publication 501 for full details.

once you're 24 or older, they'd in uncomplicated terms declare you in the journey that your gross earnings is below $3500 for the three hundred and sixty 5 days, and that they provided over 0.5 of your help for the three hundred and sixty 5 days. in the event that they claimed you and have been given audited, would desire to develop right into a nighmare for all of you. You reported your earnings become below the table, which looks to muddy the waters slightly yet i do no longer think of you prefer to flow there - you do comprehend that in case you have been paid below the table yet did no longer checklist it on a tax return, you have been committing tax evasion. in basic terms pay the out of state instructions, in the different case flow returned and wait a three hundred and sixty 5 days till you initiate college, or flow to college in FL.

You can be a dependent of your parents, regardless of whether you live with them or not, as long as the following are true:
1. You had income of less than $3,400
2. Your parents provided over half of your support.
Unless both are true, you are not a dependent.

If you are totally and permanently disabled, they can.
If they provide over half of your support AND your gross income is under $3400 for the whole year (2007 limit) then they can, but if you make over $3400 they can't.

Ninasgrandma is right, you are not a qualifying child, but you could be a qualifying relative.
