These rules are outlined by the IRS.



  • You must be related to the dependent. While you must be related to the person you plan to claim as a dependent, they don\'t have to be your mother or father to qualify. Grandparents, step parents and in-laws also qualify.


  • The dependent must meet income requirements. A dependent relative must make under $3,650 in yearly gross income. This does not include any Social Security or other tax-exempt pensions they may be receiving. It does, however, include any taxable income, interest, or dividends.


  • You must provide more than 50 percent of their financial support. This can include medical costs, transportation, food, and housing. If they live with you, these criteria can be easily met thanks to mortgage and utility costs.

Is the eldest child the smartest, wisest?

In my experience no as the eldest starts life with no siblings to learn from. That doesn't mean the eldest child is less smart or wise; it just tends to take them a little longer though it must be recognised different kids tend to have different aptitudes.

There are a lot of variables including whether siblings have the same parentage, the amount and type of nurturing from the family, the size and access to members of the extended family and many other things

How many hours is part time before paying tax

When your total wages exceed the minimum Earnings, you will have to pay. Typically, you pay each paycheck and then file tax returns for excess contributions for a Refund.

Browser search 2012 Federal Tax Withholding info. I want to say its like $600 total annual but I easily can be wrong. Just know that the Paperboy pays income taxes.

Most of the time, employers deduct and your special status, (student, dependent,etc.) is up to you at end of year.

Don't forget FICA, Medicare type tax, State Tax, etc.

Please rate my info.

Cory is 6 years older than her sister.Four years ago, she was 4 times as old her sister.how old is cory now?

let c = cory's age now let s = her sisters age now
cory's age now = sisters age + 6 years
=> c = s + 6
4 years ago, cory was 4 years younger ( i.e. c-4) and her sister was 4 years younger (s- 4)
4 years ago cory was 4 times older than her sister
=> c - 4 = 4*(s-4)
We can simplify this to c = 4s - 16 +4 c = 4s - 12
We can then use simultaneous equations to solve the two equations
(i) c = s + 6 (ii) c = 4s - 12
If we multiply both sides of equation (i) by 4 we get (iii) 4c = 4s + 24
We can then subtract equation (ii) from equation (iii) to eliminate the '4s' term => ( 4c = 4s + 24 ) - (c = 4s - 12) => 4c - c = 4s +24 - 4s +12 => 3c = 4s - 4s +36 => 3c = 36 => c = 36/3 => c = 12 => Cory's age now = 12
For clarity: Her sister's age now is of course 6 4 years ago Cory would of been 8 and her sister would of been 2
I hope this helps and good luck! If you have more questions - ask away!

Find the value of the variable ''x'' 6x+6=4x+12

6x+6=4x+12
Since 4x contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left-hand side of the equation by subtracting 4x from both sides.
6x+6-4x=12
Since 6x and -4x are like terms, add -4x to 6x to get 2x.
2x+6=12
Since 6 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting 6 from both sides.
2x=-6+12
Add 12 to -6 to get 6.
2x=6
Divide each term in the equation by 2.
(2x)/(2)=(6)/(2)
Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors.
x=(6)/(2)
Simplify the right-hand side of the equation by simplifying each term.
x=3

Good Luck

My washing machine is flashing the letters FL and there is still water and soap in it

"FL" flashes if any overfill condition occurs. This condition occurs when excessive water in the tub causes the overfill switch to trip. The control must realize that the trip was due to an overfill condition instead of a suds lock condition in order for "FL" to be displayed.With an overfill condition, the beeper repeats a warning every 10 seconds with no time out. The pump is cycled in drain mode for 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off until the overfill switch resets or power is discontinued to the unit.
