You may not qualify for a full standard deduction if your parents can claim you as a dependent on their return. In that case, your standard deduction is limited to the greater of $1,000 or your earned income for the year plus $350, but not more than the regular standard deduction amount.
The parent with physical custody will claim the child on his or her taxes unless the court has said otherwise. Often, with joint custody arrangements, the court will order that the parents take turns claiming the child, with one parent claiming the child one year, the other parent the next year. Sometimes if there is more than one child, the court will divide the children between the parents for deduction purposes.
