🚨 Important Tax Law Reminder: Claiming a Dependent 🚨
Paying child support or helping financially does not automatically qualify you to claim a dependent.
This is one of the most common reasons taxpayers are audited—and required to repay refunds years later.
Claiming a dependent is not based on: ❌ Who wants the refund
❌ Who paid some expenses
❌ Verbal agreements between parents
It is based strictly on IRS tests and legal qualifications.
One of the MOST important rules:
📌 The child must live with you for MORE than 6 months of the year to qualify for most dependent-related credits.
Yes—you can: • Provide financial support
• Be involved in the child’s life
• Pay child support
However, if the child did not live with you for more than half the year, you generally do not qualify for:
Head of Household
Earned Income Tax Credit
Child Tax Credit
Additional Child Tax Credit
Why this matters:
• Dependents are heavily audited by the IRS
• Tax professionals are required to ask detailed questions
• Fathers claiming dependents are often flagged
• Refunds can be reversed years later
And if an audit happens: 👉 You don’t just lose the credit
👉 You may have to pay the money back
This is not opinion.
This is federal tax law.
Knowing the rules before you file protects your refund and your future.

Important Tax Reminder for Parents of Dependents (Ages 16–23)
If you have children between the ages of 16 and 23 who qualify as your dependents, please do not allow them to file their tax return independently without proper guidance if you intend to claim them.
Last tax season, many parents experienced issues after their children filed first and not taking proper steps. In many cases—especially with college students ages 19–23—the child did not indicate that they could be claimed as a dependent on another person’s return.
As a result, when the parent later attempted to file, they were unable to electronically claim the child. This often required the parent to file a paper return, significantly delaying processing and any expected refund.
Please note:
If your child works, they may still file their own tax return.
However, they must correctly select the option stating that someone else can claim them as a dependent.
If the child files first and does not mark this box, the IRS system will reject the parent’s electronic return.
That single checkbox matters.
To avoid delays, rejected returns, and unnecessary stress, coordinate filing decisions before submitting any return.

Your tax REFUND isn’t as high as someone with a W2 because you are SELF EMPLOYED…..

Self-Employment Tax:

📍Self-employed individuals must pay the self-employment tax, which covers Social Security and Medicare.

📌Rate: 15.3% (12.4% for Social Security + 2.9% for Medicare).

📍W-2 employees only pay half (7.65%) of this amount because their employer pays the other half.

📎Self-employed people pay both halves, increasing their tax liability 😬

Example: If both earn $50,000:

📌W-2 employee’s Social Security and Medicare share: $3,825.

📌Self-employed individual’s Social Security and Medicare share: $7,650.

Because MOST self employed/gig workers don’t pay their taxes in real time like they should the refund is reduced by the self employment tax liability.
