No one can tell you if your parents would be your qualifying relative (QR) dependent on your income tax return. You have to decide this on your own because you and they have all of the necessary information that will be needed for this purpose. You can claim your parents as a dependent if they meet the definition of a qualifying relative. This requires that the parents be a US citizen or resident of the US, Canada or Mexico, they are not filing a joint return other than to claim a full refund of any tax withheld, their taxable gross income was under $3650 for each one and you provided more than 50% of each ones total support.

The individual DID NOT PROVIDE MORE than half of the individual total support for the tax year. The cost of support includes food, clothing, education, medical and dental care as well as the fair rental value of shelter provided. This must exceed the total of all other assistance coming from other sources, including other relatives, government entities, the person's savings and non-taxable income.

Go to the IRS gov web site and use the search box for the referenced material.

Can you file your taxes if you are a dependent?

In the United States, a person who earns over a certain amount has to file taxes, depending on filing status and age. Technically, anyone who can be claimed as a dependent should not have to file because the majority of their living expenses were paid by someone else. If a dependent earns more than the minimum allowable amount, they are no longer considered a dependent and must file taxes.
