It depends on your age... If you are 19, but under the age 24, you are a dependent if your gross income is less than $4050 and if your parents provided more than half of your support. 

Had you been a full-time student and under 24,  the gross income does not matter; you are a dependent if you don't provide more than half of your own support.
