Taxes and dependents

[Joey_AB_DL]

So I started my income taxes this weekend.

Sure- claim as many dependents as you want, then get ready for the audit and the penalties and interest they're going to charge. And there may be criminal charges too Only the government is allowed to make things up; we're required to always tell the truth

Same rules always apply no matter who you are. You have to have paid for at least half of their expenses for the year for them to qualify as a dependent.

I have no kids and I wear Tenas, not Depends. I guess I'm double-independent, can I get a deduction for that?

If a person has multiple personalities, can he/she take a deduction for each one?

Don't be silly !

Out of your salary, each personality would have to pay its TAX.

I'm about the same... v.v I don't earn that much to start with either but I still have enough to get by with my other bills
Taxes make my bank account look rather bare
How about a guinea pig? I buy all of his food and stuff he's a dependant clearly

Mine works out to 32%.

[Bettypooh]

My base rate is 28% but once all the pieces fall into place I actually pay around 35% when all is said and done. Got to love self-employment

Is there any type of credit if you are taking care of an elderly (89) yr. old parent. Living in our house, but collects Social Security.
