    1. If you are under 24 and you provided more than half of your support, your parents can not claim you.
    2. If you are 24 or more and earned more than $3650 or your parents did not provide more than half of your support, they can not claim you.
    3. Even they claim you, they will not get any refund as they do not have any income.
