When can my parents no longer claim me on their taxes?
I am single, 19, a full time student and I work part time, I made over 4,000$ this year but I still live at home. Can they still claim me when I make over a certain amount of money? If you would, give me a few links for this information, thanks :)

I also had to take out a loan to go to school.

They can claim you as long as you are a fulltime student. Since you are their child, you count as a qualifying child until you are 25 I believe. It doesn't matter how much you make but it does affect the amount that you are taxed.


adl_tx
That depends....

If you are over 18 years old you are an adult...

I heard some cases it will last until age 21 if the
student is still in college full time.

Sounds like they can still probably claim you.

They stop being able to claim you as a qualifying child when

You are 19 or over, and NOT a full time student, OR

You are 24 regardless of whether you are a student, OR

You provide over half of your own support for the year. That's the one that could be in question. Loans in your name that are spent on school are part of your support that you pay. But your share of the house expenses, including rent or fair rental value, are part of their contribution to your support.

First, versantl... is completely wrong; permission from you has absolutely no effect on what they are or are not allowed to do.

There is a $3500 limit, but that only applies to a "qualifying relative".

For a "qualifying child", there is no limit.

No matter how much the child makes, a parent can claim a child if all of these are true:

The child must be a son, daughter, stepchild, foster child, brother, sister, half brother, half sister, stepbrother, stepsister, of the parent, or a descendant of any of them.


The child must be (a) under age 19 at the end of the year, (b) under age 24 at the end of the year and a full-time student, or (c) any age if permanently and totally disabled.


The child must have lived with the parent for more than half of the year.


The child must not have provided more than half of his or her own support for the year.


If the child meets the rules to be a qualifying child of more than one person, the parent making the claim must be the person entitled to claim the child as a qualifying child.

At any rate, you *want* to be a dependent. Your income is less than $5450, so being a dependent or not isn't going to change your $0 tax bill to something other than $0. As a dependent, you get free romm and board, coverage on their health insurance, etc.

As long as you are under 24 and still in school, the deciding factor is whether or not you support yourself. Go to irs.gov, get pub 501 and do the worksheet on page 20.

Right now the test is whether or not you support yourself. The loan that you have to pay back counts as support you provided yourself. The roof over your head counts as support your parents provided.

Do the math. Both you and your parents will be surprised at the numbers.

PS, FAFSA isn't going to process you aid applications any differently until you hit 24.
