If you were age 24 on 12/31/2017 and your gross income was $4,050 or more, then no one can claim you as a dependent.  You are no longer eligible to be claimed as a dependent under the Qualifying Child rules due to your age.  And under the Qualifying Relative rules your gross income must be less than $4,050.
