so if my parents pay more than 1/2 of my expenses i can be a dependant right? (im 16, living with both parents all my life)
What counts as living expenses? Everything? Does the money they put into my schooling count, even though i could just go to a public school? (ive went to a private school and was homeschooled)
Also when it says that im not a dependant if i pay more than 1/2 of my own stuff, does that also mean if im capable of paying my own stuff?
Like i could support myself, as in stay alive, with what im making (food and some cheap apartment) but i couldnt afford the type of schooling there giving me (and they give me everything else i need)

Living expenses would include a prorate share of the rent or mortgage payment, utilities, food, etc that provide for the household in general and your clothing, school expenses etc.

basically, all amounts expended on you are considered to be support. that includes room and board, clothes, movie tickets, books, private schooling, anything that doesn't go into the bank for a rainy day.

at 16, you are a dependent, no matter what you earn.
