2. Well, it says it WOULD have been $900, but my AGI makes me ineligible.
In other words, $0.00

5. $1200 is what was calculated but just like last time the Dept of Ed will get it.
That's what I get for taking out a student loan so my *then husband* could pay his tuition. He never paid the remaining balance and I refuse too. So they take any refunds or pay scam returns even though I have no income to declare. :shrug:

6. That calculator is fucked up.
Edited on Fri Apr-25-08 05:48 PM by L0oniX
I click on "no" for all three of the first questions and it says I am not qualified with the reason that I can be claimed as a dependant, or I am a non resident alien, or I a have an invalid ss number. Well I am not claiming any dependant nor am I an alien and my ss number is the one I have had since I was 18. That calculator is fucked up.

8. All three questions specify "if filing a joint return"
They don't provide options for filing a single return.

It is fucked up.

10. I get $19 even though I'm a single mom, putting my daughter through
college, I get no credit for my daughter and she doesn't get anything because I claim her as a dependent.
