Hello. I need advice. I received unemployment (I don't understand why this is even lumped with kiddie tax, utterly unacceptable) and my mom is refusing to give me her taxable income UNLESS she can claim me, which this year she can't. She's emphasized enough that I'm independent and can't fathom this extra information. She would rather believe H&R block over me and they have no idea what this tax even is. It's honestly putting too much stress on me and I can't deal with this. I don't feel like going through the hassle of requesting the information from the IRS because 1), she hasn't filed taxes yet and 2) their swamped. By the time they get it to me April 15th will pass on by.
If I just estimate her tax can the IRS fix it down the line if I overpay or underestimate? Can they just send me a bill for the remaining tax to pay if any? I already paid $2044 with the estimate alone, even though without it, it would've been $710. I intend to amend my taxes because of the unemployment exemption so I expect a refund back anyway.
Any closure is appreciated.
