Family Values

I agree,,,Once had a couple that were going to marry on Dec. 31st......big mistake,,,they had 2 children each, they would have lost $7,000 in EIC. Married Jan. 1st,,,,we paid for their wedding.

Yep.

>>Isn't the divorced and separated rule for parents who do not live together?<<

Yep. It's another example of how our family-values politicians subsidize the breakup of families.

How much did the dad make. If he provide more
than 50% of the household then he should be HOH .

If they lived in the same home all year long how are they going to split the deduction for one child? Isn't the divorced and separated rule for parents who do not live together?

Unmarried couple are the parents of a child
All live in the same household.

Girl friend earned $2500.00 and filed single, claiming herself, did not claim the child as a dependent, but did take the EIC.

Mind is not working to well on this,,,,,Is the father shot down on HOH and dependent exemption? Looks like he has to file single and no dependent to me because it's all or nothing,,,,HELP.
