Best Answer

A return is what you file. A refund is what you may get if your return indicates you owed less than you paid in (through withholding or required estimated payments made during the year). Someone who owns a home, and has a mortgage or loan they are paying on it, are allowed to deduct the interest paid from taxable income. So, yes there are tax benefits to the loan on a residence.

Can my daughter file her income tax even though i am claiming her and her son?

Yes she can but she cannot claim herself or her child as an exemption on her own return. If she does this incorrectly you will both receive a letter from the IRS and you may have to correct your tax return and pay back money you received. I recommend that you take her return to your tax prepared to make sure it is done right.


How much on average does 1040 tax preparation cost at HR Block?

It depends on where you live, what type of forms are used, how many different states you need to file, whether you own rental property, sold stocks, own a house, are part of a partnership, etc.... For a 1040EZ and simple state return you can expect to pay anywhere from $70 to $100 unless you are a dependent of someone who is also filing and you will get a discount on that fee. The more specific you are about what forms you need to file the more accurate an estimate you can receive. After having your taxes filled out and you feel the fee is too high you are not obligated to pay and take the return. All that is lost is about an hour of your time.

Can you claim your mother on my income tax?

No. My mother would not let me let you claim her on your income tax return. Even if I could claim my mother on my return I would not let you claim her on your return. My mother will be claiming herself on her own return. Nice try though. If you are interested in possibly claiming your own mother on your own return, I would recommend reading the Form 1040 instructions for line 6c, step 4. In a nutshell, if your mother lived with you all year, had minimal income, and you provided over half her support, you may be eligible to claim your mother on your return.
