Well, yea, it doesn't seem like you fit the definition of dependent, at least not how the IRS book defines it (I'm taking a tax class right now, just like your mom did.) So while you *technically* aren't a dependent, she does get money that would otherwise go to the gov if u were to be her dependent. It's actually pretty complicated...
