after what age my parents cannot claim me as a dependent anymore?

I am 24 going to me 25 next year of 2010, I just got a fulltime salaried charge and I wanted to know if my parents can still claim me as a dependent, I still live with them ( not for long though) and I thought it was after you are a certian age they cannot anymore.

If they aren't providing over 50% of your goods(however it's worded exactly) later they can't claim you. So since you are going to have your own job I'd say they can't claim you anymore.

I believe when you start claiming yourself as an exemption on your tax forms (generally a 1040) then they can no longer do so. From 1040 (y 2008) EXEMPTIONS: "Yourself. If someone can claim you as a dependent, do not check box 6a"

When you are 17 they hold to prove you are in school to claim you as a dependent. At 25 I think their days are over when they own you to get a tax break from. Sounds like it is time to carry all out on your own.
