It depends. There are two ways you can qualify as their dependent. You can be their dependent if meet the requirements to be a qualifying child or a qualifying relative. Since you are under the age of 24, you can qualify as a qualifying child if you meet the IRS definition of a student for 2016, if all the other requirements are met. If you do NOT meet the requirements to be a qualifying child, then you wont qualify as their dependent because you wont meet the qualifying relative requirements because of your earned income.
Please
refer to page 13 of Pub 501, under the headings, "student defined",
"full time student", "school defined", and "vocational
high school student" to determine if your child meets the IRS definition
of a student. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p501.pdf
Additionally, please refer to the chart on page
12 of pub 501 to see if you meet the requirements to be claimed as a qualifying child. Please note that there are requirements listed above the qualifying
child and qualifying relative sections, and those requirements must be met as
well. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p501.pdf.
