It's usually an overall tax advantage for parents (or somebody else) to claim you as a dependent because the person claiming you usually has higher income and will get more tax benefit from tax credits such as the education credits, the \u003Ci>Child Tax Credit\u003C/i>, or the \u003Ci>Credit for Other Dependents\u003C/i>.\r\n\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\r\nIf you're age 19 or older, or a student age 24 or older, then no one can claim you as a dependent if your gross income was $5,200 or more.",1777391526413]
