My child was in the Job Corps last year, can I still claim him on my federal income taxes as a dependant?
Either
Yes you include all your kids in your taxes.
yes.
If he has no taxable expenses in the child then he cant claim on tax.
The income that the 14 year child earns is the child's income and would not be reported as income on the parents income tax return.
My child has to pay for lunch can I claim that on my taxes?
This is not declared income and you will not have to pay income taxes on it. Same thing for child support. However, Alimony payments have to be delclared and will be taxed.
Taxes are supposed to be something you pay but in your case the answer is yes. If you have a child that is yours you can receive Earned Income Credit as long as no one has claimed you or your child on their return and if you meet the requirements.
Yes, if you paid for child care, regardless of where the income comes from, you can claim the Child and Dependent Care Credit.
Almost certainly. You have to read all the small print telling you how to enter information.
