There's a box that's checked on Form 1040EZ in line 5 if you're filing your own tax return and your parents are claiming you as a dependent. But you leave the box blank (unchecked) if you're using Form 1040A or Form 1040. On those two forms, it's the box on line 6a and it's stated "If someone can claim you as a dependent, do not check box 6a." The point of indicating on your tax return that your parents are claiming you as a dependent is to make sure that you don't take an exemption for yourself, because your parents are claiming your exemption on their return.

If they live in your house, legally yes you can claim them. You can also claim a student in college as a dependent up to 21 years of age.

When the child files their tax returns, they have to put that someone claims them as a dependent, or the IRS may look at why the guardian is also claiming them as a dependent.
