So, my mom got married in APRIL of 2006....So, this year when she does her taxes, she will have to do them with her new husband. He was recieving UNEMPLOYMENT from MAY 2006 until OCTOBER 2006. He just started working again at the BEGINNING of NOVEMBER.
My mom worked all of 2006!!!
She is claiming me as a DEPENDANT due to my vision impairment.
Will she get a refund????

Probably..., is the best I can do with your limited information. If they earned less than $34,000 They will qualify for the earned income credit which will add to the refund. You didn't say how old your are, but I assume due to your statement that you are only a dependant because of a vision impairment that the child credits do not apply. What really matters is total income, total deductions, and how much was withheld during the year. If income from her and her husbands is too high then the unemployment will become taxable (reportable in any case) and that could wipe out any part or all of a potential refund. even so married joint sound slike the best course of action to maximize the refund or minimize the tax owed.

There's no way to answer this without a lot more information. Your mom and her new husband will fill out their return, see how much they owe. Then if between them they paid in more than they owe, they'll get a refund.
If they want to, they can file as married filing separately instead of a joint return, but it will probably cost more in taxes in total. The rest of the answer stays the same - your mom would get a refund if she paid in more than she owed, otherwise not. If she files separately, she would not be eligible for an Earned Income Credit.

It depends if she had enough withholding on her paycheck. She will file as married with 1 dependent (you) Unemployment is taxable, so that might cause her to have to pay. You didn't say if she has a mortgage or other write offs, so it is uncertain what she will owe or not.
Had she stayed single, and claimed you, she would have filed as Head of Household and probably gotten a refund, but by getting married, she MUST change her filing status.

depending on how much tax she had pay, if she overpaid, she will get a refund
