How do I do this on my taxes? Can I just do a 1040 ez and claim all year?

The 1040EZ is generally setup for somoene that will not file itimized deductions or have other complications. I have a checklist that I can email you if you send me a PM with your email address.
If your question was can you claim yourself as a dependent, it is likely that you can and should as your parents probably cannot claim you because you wouldn't pass their dependency test. I can help you with this or TurboTax will figure it out for you and run the test.
If you are getting a 1099 and not a W2 then you will likely file a 1040 as there are some great deductions for "contractors" that W2 employees cannot take.
PM me if you would like to talk in detail.
