Claim you for what?

How old are you?

Are you talking about taxes? What is stopping you from being a big girl and claiming YOURSELF? And if you are talking about taxes, what stops you from filing a joint tax return? And why is this something you're thinking about now as opposed to BEFORE you said yes to the proposal?

Why can't you and your hubby file jointly? You will get married before the end of the year and you don't have to be married more than six months of the year to qualify.

And why is it so important that someone be able to "claim" you at all? What tragedy do you think will occur if you don't get used as a tax deduction for someone?

I am a tax professional. If you marry on or before 12/31 you may file a joint return with your husband...which in essence gives your husband a better tax result than someone "claiming" you.

If you marry, your mother may not claim you as a dependent unless you and your husband combined have income below the requirement to file, and the joint return would be filed only to claim a refund of withholding.

Sorry but I just had to laugh at the bolded. If she marries her mother, she has more issues than what we could possibly help her with.

I understand what you are saying and agree -- not wrong -- just funny phrasing.

Yeah...I needed a comma in there. I will fix it.

This thread, well, the missing coma, made me laugh.

I was reading statutes and this made me read twice "Preserving record, case assigned to ass"..

Too funny this morning, I need sleep.

I think you probably might need sleep, yeah.

If only to keep an eye on those missing comas
