I’m 19 filing taxes for my first time so any help is appreciated. I live at home with my parents, they provide more than half of my expenses (rent/food) I just pay for anything that’s for my personal use like phone bill, clothes, etc. In my w2 for 2025 I made 22k. In the year of 2025 I wasn’t in any type or school (I graduated high school in 2024), I am planning on attending college this fall.

    IRS Interactive Tax Assistant: Whom may I claim as a dependent?

    Answer the questions from the perspective of the person who would be claiming you.

    However, based on the information you provided, no one can claim you as a dependent for 2025 because you are not under 19 or a full-time student, and your income exceeded the threshold ($5,200.)
