What do I check for my living situation if I still live with my parents?

Where is it asking for your living situation?    In MY INFO you enter your address.   And there will be a question about whether you can be claimed as someone else's dependent.   Is that the "situation" you are asking about?   We know nothing about you----in order to determine if your parents can claim you as a dependent, we would need to know your age, whether you were a full-time student in 2024, and whether you earned more than $5050 2024.

How would your parents answer these questions?

IRS interview to help determine who can be claimed:

Do you fit the criteria to be a qualifying child----or a qualifying relative?

WHO CAN I CLAIM AS A DEPENDENT?

You can claim a child, relative, friend, or fiancé (etc.) as a dependent on your 2024 taxes as long as they meet the following requirements:

Qualifying child

• They're related to you.
• They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else.
• They're a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
• They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse.
• They're under the age of 19 (or 24 for full-time students).
• No age limit for permanently and totally disabled children.
• They lived with you for more than half the year (exceptions apply).
• They didn't provide more than half of their own support for the year.

Qualifying relative

• They don't have to be related to you (despite the name).
• They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else.
• They're a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
• They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse.
• They lived with you the entire year (exceptions apply).
• They made less than $5050 in 2024 (not counting Social Security)
• You provided more than half of their financial support.

When you add someone as a dependent, we'll ask a series of questions to make sure you can claim them. There may be other tax benefits you can get when you claim a dependent.
