Default Tax Dependent Question

Hi, I am using turbotax for my tax this year. This is the first time that I will ever file a tax return by myself, My question is regarding the dependent status.

I am 25 years old and was claimed on my mother's tax return last year. When I get to "Any Special Situations", it asked to "Select any that applied in 2005", and one of the options is "Could be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return". The age requirement for this is under 19 years old or under 24 but going to school full time. Now I am not sure what to pick on this since I was never under 24 when my mom claimed me. I was a little over 24.

Do I check "Yes I could be claimed as a dependent in 2005", or do I not check it.

Thank you
