    She pays for literally 0 things

    dependent

    also chances are her listing you as a dependent gets her a bigger tax break than your stimulus check would have been, so

    but I don't get any of that fucking money

    also it's lying on a federal form

    Pretty sure the only prerequisites to listing children as dependents are age and relation.

    and I'm pretty sure I'm twenty effing three, have graduated college, live on my own, make my own money and get absolutely nothing

    also I think said dependent has to be actually you know
    dependent
    on the filer

    that's why they call it that

    Javen you're silly

    Wait, hold on. If you file your own taxes, how can she claim you as a dependent? That doesn't seem like it should work.

    Oh, shit, Bendery

    And that sucks, I hate the whole 'having to have a smile' attitude some workplaces have

    Well, it's not that I'm 'unhappy' because I love my job and I look forward to work everyday and it takes every bone in my body not to show up a couple hours early and just hang out (this is frowned upon)

    The issue is that I just don't, 'look happy'. Which... oh well... It doesn't help that i did a word vomit on a manager when she came to give me some tips about it. I had just been told by another staff member that someone had been spreading rumors about me and that most of the staff thinks I'm an asshole and I was pretty freaked out that shortly after a manager was coming to talk to me in private.

    Kind of my fault... but i dunno it's stressful none the less.

    Yeah, this is what I meant. Some people's normal faces just don't look happy, regardless of how they feel! Mori could write a book on that subject.

    And, it is never your fault that others are spreading rumours about you. And I can't see how anyone would find you an asshole, but eh, workplaces.

    Good luck!

    It would lead to a speedy audit if someone listed you as a dependent and your own tax return contradicted that.

    I quit my job two weeks ago. My job was being paid to travel around the world and write about the places I visit.

    One part of me is saying 'you stupid bastard you had a sweet deal' and yet the other, larger part of me is saying 'but you were more depressed and lonely than at any other time'

    Time will tell how good a decision it was. Riding high on the 'being unemployed in a shitty economy' wave has its perks. Like sleeping in until noon and eating a lot of take out.

    i hate you

    so much

    I can sort of identify. how much were you traveling, scarab? like, were you pretty much always in some different place? because as cool as that would be, it would be a seriously depressing and lonely job

    Why do you think I posted here so much? I had noone else to talk to. You don't get two tickets. And it's not like a holiday. It's work. You arrive and go see these places but you are also booking photographers, writing your shit up, interviewing people. I bought a laptop so I could write on the plane and enjoy more time at each destination. On paper it sounds great, in practice it is lonely, stressful and something I didn't need to deal with. So I walked out just before Christmas.

    So now I'm back at the bottom of the ladder, having rose up it mightily only to find at the top is a life of airport terminals and vacuum sealed meals over and over and over. I'd go back to my internship I did right out of uni in a heartbeat. Sometimes you don't quite realise how good you had it until you lose it. I had friends, good times and easy work for little pay. But so did everyone else. I have literally no idea what I'm going to do but at least I can share my worries with people I love - rather than sitting in some Moroccan bar - alone, drinking something I can't pronounce with noticeably the whitest skin for seventy miles.

    so basically this then

    1) I saw I didn't make enough money before I knew my mom was listing me as dependent. Therefore I really didn't care

    2) I kinda don't want my mom to get audited, call me a madman

    3) Now that I am making enough to qualify, I feel I should be independent on tax forms

    My parents have me listed as a dependent still, and I'm ok with it.

    I make enough to continue eating, drinking, having a place to sleep, and twice a year or so, buying myself professional-level instruments since I started with no good instruments, so no stimulus money, and they get a tax break so.

    dependency

    If you're between the ages of 18 and 23 and weren't in college on December 31, 2008, (Or if you were 24 or older on December 31, 2008) then she's going to get asked to pay back the dependent money whether you check that box or not.

    She's not going to get audited because an audit is for if they thought she was reporting her income falsely, which she isn't. More than likely she'll get a slap on the wrist and told hey don't do that give us our monies.

    you don't even have to tell her, really.

    I mean, she has to put down your SSN

    It'll flag when they run that.

    Plus she'll have to pay a $25 surcharge plus any interest on the balance of what she owes or was overpaid if she does that without filing for an extension.

    Oh another great reason for me being a dependent is that my parents have a guy who does their taxes, and I have to do my own, but if I'm still a dependent, he can do mine too. It's great.

    No. I do VA benefits.

    But I can read directions and do my own taxes because it's really not hard.

    http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p501.pdf

    see page 11, left box, point 2.

    if you can read flowcharts and tables you can file your own taxes.

    Busted up his knee, shin splints and back. He's been in medical rehab for months and they're finally offering him a discharge because he's not healing as well as they want a.k.a. permanent damage to the cartilage in his knee. However, the Army is saying that he won't get a medical, just a general separation.

    So, yeah.

    They've done nothing like that on him. I saw copies of all of his medical paperwork from when he was home for holiday/recuperation leave and there was nothing but 'knee, shins, back, shins, back, knee, knee, bullshit.' If there was more in his medical profile, he didn't get copies of it or wasn't informed.

    The line of duty determination would be in his personnel file, not in his service treatment records.

    Either way, if they didn't do a line of duty then they can't really not do a medical separation on him, unless he's the one requesting it. So if that's what they're doing he should appeal through whatever process that entails. Unfortunately I know more about the post-separation side of things rather than the pre so that's not entirely in my realm of knowledge.

    But I mean, if he doesn't get a medical discharge then he's kind of effed for VA bennies since he didn't serve two years and/or full term of service.

    Kay Bailey Hutchinson can't deny or approve benefits. The extent of her legal powers would be on voting to change the rules and regulations for granting VA benefits, approving someone to be the VA secretary, or sending VA letters asking to adjudicate a claimant's claim more quickly or submitting evidence on their behalf.

    So if she told you that she denied your claim then she's sort of misrepresenting herself.
