I’m an 18 year old college student, and currently going to school in Michigan while my parents remain in New York at their domicile. I’ve been thinking about changing my residency status so I would be able to pay in-state tuition rates, however my parents and I have been talking about the affects it may have on my dependency status with them. So my question, is could my parents still claim me even if I change my state residency?

Yes.

 

You're 18 years old and if you do not pay for more than half of your support, then your parents can claim you as a dependent even if you are a resident of another state.
