No, if you are claimed as a dependent, your parents cannot merge your tax liabilities with theirs. However, they can claim certain tax benefits related to you being a dependent, such as the Child Tax Credit or the Earned Income Tax Credit if you qualify.
As a dependent, you still need to file your own tax return if your income meets the filing requirements. Your tax liability is separate from your parents', and you are responsible for paying any taxes owed on your income. Your parents will report your status as a dependent on their tax return, which may affect their overall tax situation, but they cannot consolidate or pay your taxes directly on your behalf.
