What do you put on a tax form if your parents are claiming you as a dependent?

There's a box that's checked on Form 1040EZ in line 5 if you're filing your own tax return and your parents are claiming you as a dependent. But you leave the box blank (unchecked) if you're using Form 1040A or Form 1040. On those two forms, it's the box on line 6a and it's stated "If someone can claim you as a dependent, do not check box 6a." The point of indicating on your tax return that your parents are claiming you as a dependent is to make sure that you don't take an exemption for yourself, because your parents are claiming your exemption on their return.


Income tax exemption for a child?

I'm not sure what the question is asking, but I'm going to assume you are asking what qualifies a person to claim the exemption. Simply put, as far as the IRS is concerned, you can claim the child for Federal Income Tax purposes if you had physical custody of the child 51% of the time. That means 183 days. This qualifies you for Earned Income Credit, Head of Household status, Child Tax Credit, and the exemption (which just lowers you claimable income). If you sign your exemption away to a non-custodial parent (you would need form 8332 to do this), you can still take the EIC and the HoH status. The NC would be able to take the Child Tax Credit and the exemption.
