Do I qualify for a dependency override?
This is the situation, any of you please tell me if I’m qualified for a depency override. The issue is I’m 19 years old, my mother claimed me on her 2008 taxes. She doesn’t make a whole lot of money but due to worker’s compensation *untaxed income* my stupid EFC score skyrocketed from 0 to over 5000. I do qualify for loans that will pay for this year of college. But my daughter was born in May and I am currently supporting her and my girlfriend *until she is able to work again*. I believe I am an independent and would much rather use a grant than have to pay back loans. In the past I mostly did construction with my father so I couldn’t file taxes, but I currently work at a supermarket now. Being the only person working right now I pay for gas, I pay her parents rent, pay for diapers, formula, baby clothes etc. I also buy food. Needless to say, my pay check is pretty much gone after all of this. Do you think I qualify for a dependency override? Also, I used to reside in california but am currently living in West Virginia. I get no money or help from my family.
lol in case of confusion I am using my girlfriend’s Y!A account to ask this question, I’m a guy.
Lol… sorry I just stopped by to read your question (I don’t have an answer for you) but the whole time I was picturing this butch 19 yr old lesbian with a baby and working construction… quite a family!
Anyways, good luck and sorry I can’t help more lol.
So you and your dad are working/paying you illegally, your mother
doesn’t make much money, and everyone is taking from your
wallet…? Is that about right so far…and now you want to be a
‘dependant’ on someone else and work the system… not to mention
the fraud you are contemplating perpetrating on the federal
government…along with what you have already done… Sorry, I
can’t say ‘good luck’ to you… but rather SHAME ON YOU…and your
family. You are entitled to benefits under the law when there is
‘need’, you are not entitled to take benefits or exemptions, or
grants when you are not eligible. And, from what you say here…you
are not eligible for anything from the taxpayer.
