If you are going to school, they can put you on their taxes. If your just living at home, they cannot.

If you were a full-time student for some part of at least five months of 2006, then they can claim you as a dependent. If you weren't in school at least that long, then they can't claim you.

If they can claim you, you have to file taxes if you made over $5150 - if you have unearned income in addition to your income from your job, the limit it much lower. If they can't claim you, then you are required to file if your income is over $8450.

Well they can, if they are paying for all your expenses despite the fact that you have a job....call a tax place and ask them., that would be your best bet. Or go to the IRS website and see if they have a Q&A section on there.
