does anyone need bulky tax write off? I want to go to college , bad! I could be your dependent?

Question

This is serious. I know it's a shot in the dark, but i'm 27 and i finally decided what i want to go to school for. Architectural design with a speciality in sustainable, green, earth homes. My family is broke and the college i want go to school is private and very expensive..... e-mail me and i'd be glad to tell you my situation

Answer 1

Let me see now! You want me to pay more than half of all of your living expenses, allow you to live in my home, and pay your tuition. The best I would get is about $5300 in deductions which would translate to $795 reduction in my tax liability. This sounds like a really good deal. I would consider it but I am sure that the line of people who would want such a deal is so long that I would have no chance.

Answer 2

For you to be my dependent, you'd have to live with me all year, and earn under $3400, and I'd have to provide more than half of your support including your school expenses. Somehow this doesn't sound like a real good deal for me.

Maybe you need to either find a less expensive school, go part time and work part time, or work awhile and save every possible cent until you have enough to pay for school.

Also, have you applied and been accepted yet? If so, check into what financial aid is available.

Answer 3

What gives you the idea that there would be a "bulky tax writeoff" involved? The tax benefit for having a dependent in college is well below $2,000 for most families. Whoopie-Doo! (And at 27, you'd have to live in my home for me to claim you. That ain't gonna happen!)

Get a student loan like everyone else.

Answer 4

First off I would help you but thats kinda illegal ya know... and I have a little baby I dont want to go to jail...
Why dont you get some student loans.. and plus youre 27 a grown man what does your family have to do with you now??
But yea apply for some student loans and student aid... Good Luck, I wish you the best life has to offer ;)
