<prompt> Human: As I start getting prepared for tax season, I am wondering if I should claim myself as a dependent. My parents always have, but I think it might be time to claim myself. Background info:-23 years old-Graduated college a year and a half ago-Travel for work Monday-Friday, and still live with my parents on the weekend-My parents dont charge me rent, still pay for my cell phone bill, and do most of the grocery shopping. I pay for everything else in my life by myself.Based on this, should I claim myself or continue letting my parents claim me?  <response>: If youre 23, not a full-time student, and made over 4050, youre not your parents dependent. End of story.
