My 21 yr old son works full time at Walmart and lives at home. Can I claim him as a dependent on my taxes?

He lives at home and I pay all of the bills. He is a 3/4 time student too. I also have an 18 yr old who works maybe 1 day a week for the last 6 months. She is out of high school since May and basically thinks she is a hippy and is living with some guy in another town. Can I claim her too? When do I stop claiming them?

Has anyone worked at a Victoria's Secret store?

Do you need any previous experience to work there? I have never had a job before and I was thinking of applying there since they are right now accepting applications. Do you think I would be just wasting my time since I don't have any previous work experience and they would just throw my application away? I would love to work there but I'm afraid to get shot down.

UNUM claiming overpayment and I am claiming underpayment & wrongful termination of benefits. What can UNUM do?

UNUM is trying to get me to pay over $61,000 in alleged overpayment of benefits and yet my CPA sees that UNUM underpaid my benefits and wrongfully terminated benefits. I do not trust the justice system since UNUM has deep pockets. So, what can I expect at my settlement conference?

what advice can you give to a potential first time home buyer?

I know this is an very general question; however, I am looking for some helpful warnings from those who have already gone through this. I have always rented and feel with the falling prices and relatively low interest rates, next year might be a good time to take the plunge. I have read that it is important to get an engineer to look over the house before you buy. Any other thoughts would be appreciated. thanks in advance.
