I talked to my dad about it and he gave me the extra money he got from claiming me. Thanks for the suggestion!

Samantha, I’m right there with you. I used to hate filing as a dependent – all of my friends got rebates and I didn’t! Here’s a suggestion… My dad and I figured out how much *extra* he got by claiming me and he refunded some of that to me since I, like you, paid my own way. I highly recommend having that talk with your parents. Maybe they’ll appreciate your diligence and give you a little something… Worth a try!

I really don’t think it’s fair that college students who can still be claimed as dependents won’t get anything. We are the one’s who are trying to better ourselves by getting an education and we get punished for it. My parents don’t pay a dime for my education costs and I have several loans. I could have definitely used that money. It’s the same way with my FAFSA form. My parents make to much, but they don’t pay a dime for my education. I get punished for my parents having a decent job.

Why do I not get a rebate for my 19 year old daughter who works part time but I claim on my return? My daughter does not qualify for a rebate so shouldn’t I receive the child rebate? What makes her different than any other child I might have?

Desperate republicans. Co-incident (after 7 1/2 yrs of no tax rebate)with important election. Untold trillions in corporate welfare and Halliburton type theft. Imagination is critically lacking amongst some who can’t see past the nose on their face. Corporate (Wall St.) gov’t is coming if our collective logic isn’t honest and accepting of a nightmare scenario that has demonstrated it’s existence time and time again.

I am disappointed in the rebate system. As an undergrad for half the year I was able to be claimed by my parents as a dependent even though I earned in excess of 10,000 dollars of taxable income.

This brings a glarring issue to the forfront in this system…

Only parents with children under the age of 17 can get any kind of bonus refund. Parents with children between the ages of 17 and 23 who are completely supported by their parents while they attend high school or college do not help their parents get a “bonus” refund. The system is poorly implemented and does not even directly address the issues it was meant to address. People will not be putting the money back into the economy, they will be paying “cost of living” things with it. What we need to do is let the market correct itself. Eventually wages will raise to compensate for elevated cost of living and the economy can get out of this funk.
