if my son, now 15, has a income of 10,000,and filing his own tax return, how does it have impact on my tax return?-can i claim him, if he opt not to claim on his tax return? would i be eligible to claim child tax credit?
if i am an illinois resident, how it affects on my state return? how much amt he would be paying state tax on?
i am eligible to claim him as a dependent, as i have supported him fully and living with me etc provided he dont claim.and if he dont claim on fed1040, he wont be able to claim on il1040 either.
the thing is which one best suites for a family as a whole. if he files his tax return, he would be paying tax on 5000$ @10%,considering he is not contributing to ira and not claiming himself as a dependent. whereas i would be saving tax of my bracket on 5000, but still eligible to claim him as adependent...so can reduce tax liability on3200$ by claiming his exemption.am i getting it right?
