Okay so I know I just already asked a tax question and discovered that my parents can't claim me in my last question, but I am in the process of doing my taxes and it asked if I had at least one parent living in 2013 and I said yes, and then it asked "Did you have earned income of more than half your support"
Well I live with my parents and I do not contribute to the mortgage or utilities…
However I pay my own phone bill, medical bills when there is some, clothes, and I pay for my own food.
I was a part time student in 2013 (not fulltime) and paid for a semester myself the other semester I had loans and grants.
I know there is a worksheet I can do to figure this out. But lets say my parents did provide more than 50% because they probably most likely did since I do not pay for housing or anything, is that going to make me dependent and make it so they have to claim me?
Cause I am 22, made 14,000 last year and was not a full time student.
And the question I previously asked on here a couple days ago concluded that my parents cannot claim me.
But just by the information I provided by saying I live in my parents house without paying rent would it be safe to say they provide more than 50% or is it a close call where I should do that worksheet.
Can I still claim myself if I answer "No" to "Did you have earned income of more than half your support?"
Andddd maybe I am not understanding entirely what the question is asking… :/
