You are probably still a dependent, unless "paying for all of your stuff" includes paying a fair rent to your parents to live there.

Putting 1 means at the end of the year you might owe a small amount, or might not. Since you're starting so late in the year, you'll be fine for this year. Next year you might want to change it to 0 depending on how much you make.

For 2013, unless you provide over half of your own support, you are a dependent. If you are living at home, the cost of your lodging is support provided to you. It is almost certain that you are a dependent.

Putting a "1" on Form W-4 is fine. If you end up owing some tax, change it to a "0" next year. If you are still worried, change your allowances to "0" now and you should not owe anything.

yes you are a dependent

however

at 17 you are exempt from income of up to $6100 so if you do not expect to make that much in 2013, you can file the W-4 as exempt and no income taxes will be withheld

YES still a qualified child dependent of your parents on their own 1040 FIT tax return during the 2014 tax filing season for the 2013 tax year OK

When you do fail to have enough FIT federal income tax amount withheld out of your GROSS wages earning out of each pay period to cover your FIT liability during the next FIT tax filing season and then at that time you could end up Owing and amount of FIT liability that you would have to send in at that time during the tax filing season for that purpose along with your 1040V and the 1040 income tax return.

Go to the www.irs.gov website and use the search box for the W-4 Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate

Very simple and easy fill in the W-4 correctly and completely and just claim Single and -0- ZERO Allowances sign the completed W-4 form make a copy for your records and give the other signed copy to your employer for the 2013 Tax year federal income tax withholding amounts out of your gross wages earnings amount if ANY amount is required for your FIT for this purpose.

And then if they should withhold any amount of $$ out for the FIT amount as an estimated advance payment of any possible income tax liability that you might have when you correctly complete your 1040 income tax return during the next income tax filing season and you receive your W-2 form from your employer around the middle of January for the past tax year and if you have a $$ amount in the Box 2 for FIT you will get a credit for that $$ amount on your 1040 income tax return and might qualify to get some are all of the withheld amount back as a REFUND amount when you correctly complete your 1040 income tax return print a copy for your records and sign the copy to send to the correct IRS address for processing.

For this year, you are probably a dependent, because your parents paid for everything for January through July. For next year, you probably won't be a dependent, since you will be paying for everything.

Yes of course you are. Didn't you even bother to look it up? If you earn less than 6100 you can file exempt and no federal taxes will be taken out. They have to take out payroll taxes, ie social security and medicare.
