Taxes question

If you are a family live together how do you list everyone in the house and not declare them as dependents?

I live with my parents and my dad said he doesn't know how to list us but not declare us on the taxes because the tax person told him to list everyone in the house as he is head of the house owner to list everyone else as dependents and to put me and my child as dependents because we live here what can I tell the tax person

I am living here they are my family but I pay rent and I work and I have a child and I am filing my taxes and we are confused I pay everything for myself and my child so we can't be listed as dependents my dad is saying his tax guy said to list everyone in the house or that's lying on who lives here to the IRS

When doing the taxes do we put just two of us live here? Do I put everyone family name in the paperwork will they be classified as a dependent if I list them? It's like five people in the house altogether

I'm confused because isn't it required to name everyone in the house do you guys have a tax sheet you can look over and let me know what I can put in?

What do I tell my dad has anyone lived together with family and done your taxes separately how did you file
