Answer 1

What kind of income do you have?

Answer 2

My daughter has eczema too and I also tried everything, including all of those creams you mentioned. The only thing that worked was OTC hydrocortisone cream but you can only use that for a few days because it is a steroid. In any case, it comes right back as soon as I stop using the hydrocortisone so it is not all that helpful Oh, the other thing that worked was going to Lima, Peru a month ago. Two days after arriving there her eczema was gone and it stayed gone for the duration of our trip The reason is that the climate is very humid there. But then we got back to the New York winter and her eczema returned within a day. I know this doesn't help you except to show that his eczema may be weather-related. Maybe it will get better in the summer, unless you happen to live in the desert. Right now all you can do is manage it. Use aquaphor frequently. Using it a couple times a day is not enough. Use it many times, especially every time you take your son outside. It won't clear it completely but his eczema might get less irritated.

Answer 3

You can claim him as your equivilant to spouse and of course for child tax credit, if you are single and raising him on your own then the father need not be involved, but for more detailed info cal revenue canada.

Answer 4

Is the $300 your income, or what was withheld for federal income tax? It's not clear from the info you give. If it's your total income, then you'd get back whatever you had withheld, and might also get $111 for an Earned Income Credit. If the $300 is your federal income tax withholding, you don't give enough info to answer your question although you'd almost certainly get back the withholding.

If the baby has lived with you for the entire time since he's been born, and not with the father, then you can claim him as long as you aren't a dependent. If the father also lives with the baby, then he could claim him if you both agree that he can do it that way, or if his income is higher than yours. If the baby lives with you and not with the father, then the father can only claim him if you give him written permission.

Answer 5

You'll need a social security number for your son.

You can claim him if you provided the majority of support for him during the year. Talk to your parents about this, though, because they might need to claim your son (and you) if you're living at home and they're providing support for both of you. (You can't claim your son if they claim you as a dependent.)

The first link below describes some rules on dependents. There's also a resource of volunteers who can help you complete and file your return (see the second link for phone numbers and more info).

Answer 6

If you are listed as a dependent on your parents taxes it doesn't matter if you have a son or not. Your parents will claim you and 'may' under certain circumstances claim your son.

Do you still live at home? Do you work or do your parents provide 50% or more of your support and living expenses? Does the father of your son provide any child support, court-ordered or not?

If you are not a dependent in terms of your parents tax return, then the amount of your return will depend on how much your adjusted gross income was for 2007, what credits you may claim and how much money has already been withheld for your federal income taxes.

You'll also have to make sure the child's father is not claiming him and you'll need the child's social security number.

Also, your mother's disability shouldn't change whether or not she can claim you as a dependent. If you live at home and she, through whatever way she can, provides your support then by definition, you are her dependent.

Answer 7

if you're claiming your son and filing Single - you would need to make over 11,000 before you owe any tax - if you've earned less than that, you should get any and all income tax refunded - you may also be eligible for Earned Income Credit and child tax credit

Answer 8

When you go to get your taxes your accountant will calculate it for you. Alot of factors matter such as below

The uniform definition of a child has four tests for claiming a child:

1. Dependent children must live with the taxpayer for more than 6 months of the tax year;
2. Dependent must be a qualifying relative (born or legally adopted child of taxpayer, legitimate foster child, brother, sister, stepbrother, or stepsister of the taxpayer or descendant of such a relative);
3. The child must be under age 19 at the end of the tax year if not a full-time student or under age 24 if a full-time student;
4. In addition, the dependent child must not provide more than 50% of his or her own support for the calendar year.

If the father tries to claim the child and you have claimed the child as well they will only give the parent the money to whomever the child has been living with the longest for the tax year.

BUT ALSO IF you are living with your parents they can actually claim you and the child since you live in their home and you wouldnt receive anything. So you should talk to them to see what they will do also..

Answer 9

on h and r blocks web site they have a free tax calculator that will give you a good rough guess but you should get earned income credit on the child for a couple thousand dollars.

Answer 10

You have to work and pay taxes through payroll deductions before you are able to file taxes and get any of the money back.

Answer 11

Are you a dependent yourself? If so, you cannot claim your child though your parents almost certainly will be able to claim you both.
