Depends upon the context and the state. While most consider an 18 year old an adult, they can still be a dependent. The tax code says that anyone that is dependent upon you for more than 50% of their cost of living.

In the United States, an 18-year-old can still be claimed as a dependent on their parents' tax return if they meet the criteria for a qualifying child, which includes factors like age, residency, and financial support. However, the rules for claiming dependents can vary by country and individual circumstances, so it's best to consult a tax professional for personalized advice.

Why could a 17 yr old be considered an adult but be charged with a juvenile crime such as runaway?
The reason why a 17 year old can be considered an adult is because they are past the legal age of consent. That means that they can work, and if possible they can sign binding contracts depending on the state in which the 17 year old resides. However, if the 17 year old is still a dependent- parents or legal guardian- or if someone can still claim the 17 year old as a dependent, then the 17 year old can be charged with anything from being a runaway to juvenile delinquency. I say this because this is how Alabama state law operates for certain. Even though the 17 year old can legally drop out of high school, the 17 year old has to be emancipated to truly be considered an adult in America because it gives you the same legal independence as a 21 year old adult, this includes educational matters as well. Even an 18 year old college student has to show their parents taxes to complete the FAFSA and enroll in school, unless emancipated by the state in which they reside for the longest period of time, or atleast reside in closest to the period in question.
Is an eighteen year old considered emancipated in Massachusetts if the child is still in high school?
Emancipation is tricky. The usual situation, once a child is 18, is to prove the child is still a dependent for various purposes, and you have to look at the statute covering the situation. An 18-year old can quit school, get a job, live where he/she wants to, get married, join the armed forces, vote. Unless the child is married or in the armed forces, for most purposes he/she will be considered a dependent, which is the opposite of emancipated, unless he/she has a full-time job and is living apart.
