What tax form do i need to allow my parent to claim me as a dependant if I am a full time student?

There's no special form involved.

Your parents claim you as a dependent on THEIR taxes. It's up to them to be ready to prove to the satisfaction of the IRS that it's true.

All you need to do use a 1040EZ to do your taxes, put your own income on it, and mark the box that says your parents can claim you as a dependent.

Your being a dependent comes into play on YOUR taxes for calculating the amount of your personal exemption. But unless you make HUGE amounts of money while you're a full-time student, it won't make much (if any) difference on your taxes and it's nothing you need to worry about.

THEY need a form, you don't - and it's not an extra form. On their 1040 or 1040A, whichever they file, they would list you as a dependent.

If you also file a return, there's a place on the 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ to note that you can be claimed as a dependent - be sure to do that. On 1040EZ, there's a box to check on line 5. On the other two, you just do NOT check the box in the exemptions section that says "Yourself".

There isn't a special form needed. Simply prepare your taxes on a 1040EZ declaring your income and that you will be claimed as a dependent. On their taxes they will need your SSN or other Govt issued number.

You don't "allow" them to claim you. Either they are allowed, or they are not. If they are, when you file your own return, check the box labeled "Can anyone else claim you as a dependent?" and put "0.00" on the line for your personal exemption.

No specific tax form required. Just be sure that on the 1040ez, 1040a or 1040 that you filed (if you filed a tax return) that you do not take your own dependency. There is a block you check releasing your dependency. If you filed a tax return and did not release your dependency you can file a 1040X and correct this oversight very simply.

None, just a check of a box.

no forms, just so long as you not married, they support you at least 50%

There is no form, but you should read the requirements on dependent - qualifications, etc. in Publication 501.

Here is from IRS Topic 354 on Dependents.

Generally, you may claim a dependency exemption for a qualifying child or a qualifying relative. Refer to Publication 501, Exemptions, Standard Deduction and Filing Information, for the definitions of a qualifying child and a qualifying relative. You may not claim a dependency exemption for an individual, however, if you are a dependent of another taxpayer.

To claim a dependency exemption for a qualifying child or a qualifying relative, the citizen, national, or resident test and joint return test must be met.

To meet the citizen, national or resident test, an individual must be a citizen or national of the United States, a resident of the United States, or a resident of Canada or Mexico. To find out who is a resident of the United States, refer to Topic 851 or Publication 519. An exception may apply for an adopted child who is not a citizen, national or resident of the United States. See Publication 501.

To Meet the joint return test, an individual generally must not have filed a joint return with the individual's spouse. An Exception applies if the joint return is files as a claim for refund, neither the individual nor the individual's spouse is required to file a return, and no liability would have existed for either the individual or the individual's spouse if each had file a separate return.

You must include a valid social security number, individual tax payer identification number (ITIN), or adoption taxpayer identification number (ATIN) for each dependent claimed on your tax return or the exemption will be disallowed. For more information on the ITIN, refer to Topic 857 or refer to Publication 1915 (PDF). For more information on the ATIN, refer to Form W-7A (PDF), Application for Taxpayer Identification Number for Pending U.S. Adoptions.

Special Rules apply to allow parents to claim the exemption for a kidnapped child in certain circumstances. Refer to Topic 357, Tax Information for Parents of Kidnapped Children, for more information.

For more information on dependents, refer to Publication 501, Exemptions, Standard Deduction, and Filing Information, and Publication 929, Tax Rules for Children and Dependents.

If you have wroked, you will need a form, but it is a 1040EZ or something like that. They just need to list you on theirs as well as you checking the corresponding box or giving the proper info on your tax forms.
