Filing for taxes 2007/ rebate?

Can I file as an Independent so that i can seize the $600 tax rebate even though i claim exempt? Am a college student and working on work study, not sure if my mom claims me or not. And if she does can i stop that and progress my W-4 forms to 0 so that i can get more money subsequent year?


Answers: 1. Figure out if you are dependent or not. If you are getting loans to pay your approach through school and YOU will be the one paying them pay for, this is support you provided to yourself. There is a worksheet in publication 501. I suggest you do this WITH YOUR MOM. If you are not a dependent base on your situation, she needs to infer this as well.

2. If you are not a dependent. you could own up to $8750 of wage income in 2007 ($8950 for 2008) up to that time owing tax. If you *are* a dependent it's individual $5350 for 2007 ($5450 for 2008). You must be telling the truth up to that time you can elect EXEMPT on the W-4. (I would elect single/1 if starting the year on the W-4. )
You need to find out what your Mom is doing. She should not be claiming you as a dependent IF you provided over partly your own support for 2007.

Yes, adjusting your W-4 will increase your withholding but consequently you'll get smaller quantity in money each month and will, within effect, be making an interest-free loan to the U.S. government. Generally not a erudite move, but that's your option.

Good luck!
If your mom can lawfully claim you, even if she didn't you could not legally claim yourself.

Claiming dependents on taxes.?

My ex and I have two children together, we have it worked out in the court where on earth she gets to claim one child and I bring back to claim one. This year I claimed both of them because my ex did not work at all ending year so her only income going into her house be from child support. I currently pay $1000/month contained by child support and I get my kids every weekend. My ex is in a minute telling me that she is going to enjoy me audited because I should not have claimed both (even though she did not work). She also started a brief in Jan of 2008 and she presently makes $150/week, so she told me she is going to claim both of them from immediately on every year. With the amount I pay contained by child support and as often as I see my kids, can she do this, and should I of not claimed both children. If not, who would enjoy claimed the other? There is no one else within the picture that is supporting the children within any way. Please abet.


Answers: she's being spiteful and the IRS won't consent to her get away beside it.

the court order on who get to claim the children is the final word so she gets with the sole purpose one for 2008.

that she couldn't use the deduction contained by 2007 because she didn't work is her problem.

**
personally, I'd propose her $300 cash [the Bush rebate] for the pro of the added 2007 deduction.

**
I mull over you'd still win on appeal at the IRS because she had no taxable income.
Unless nearby is a valid court order clich¨¦ you can claim one of the kids, you can only claim even that one if she give you permission surrounded by writing. And to claim both, even if she wasn't claiming the other kid for that year, again you'd need her concurrence in writing.

Sorry, not the answer you be hoping for I know.
The IRS will ONLY honor awards of exemptions to the non-custodial parent if the wording of the decree meet the strict requirements laid out in Federal imperative. That rule has existed for over 20 years presently and it's surprising how many decree don't meet the criteria. For example if the law ties the exemption to payment of child support it does NOT touch the Federal requirements and the IRS is REQUIRED to ignore it. See IRS Pub 501 for a full explanation on the rules.

If you are the non-custodial parent and are depending upon your divorce act to claim the child or children, you MUST attach copies of the relevant pages of your divorce declaration to your tax return to claim the exemptions.

Lacking a properly worded motion you can ONLY claim the child or children if the custodial parent gives you a signed Form 8332 or similar written statement that you MUST attach to your excise return. Without that form or statement your ex will win the exemption if you both claim the same child or children and the IRS get involved.

If your decree DOES come upon the Federal requirements then basically attach the copies of the relevant pages as spelled out within IRS Pub 501 and let your ex sweat it out beside the IRS if she improperly claims them.
Boston give the correct answer.

In these cases, the children would be claimed by the custodial parent (for tax purposes, the parent beside whom the child spends the most nights beside during the year). The exception is if the custodial spouse signs Form 8332, or if there is a properly worded (very key point) divorce decree allowing the non-custodial parent to claim the child.

You would stipulation to check your divorce decreee to see if it contains the necessary wording. If it does, database a paper return claiming the child. The IRS will contact both party to determine who gets the dependent. If the first human being to file be incorrect, he/she will have to repay the IRS.
