Question: I never claimed tax because I never work and from that I claimed with my parents 5 years ago until now (we came to US


I never claimed tax because I never work and from that I claimed with my parents 5 years ago until now (we came to US only 5 years). I recently get graduate Bachelor degree from university in Virginia state, USA and I received the paper form as I attached below and feel super worry.
When I see this page it said 19,147$ and 9642$ but I did not understand what does it mean so:
1) could you explain for me will I need to pay anything for school now or will they pay me anything ? And what does that amount meaning ?
2) What should I do with this situation to have the most benefit, will I need to claim independent or simmilar last 5 years, I claimed dependent with my parents is fine ?
Thanks in advance
