That's what she told me on the phone, that the H&R guy said he's never heard of the kiddie tax and he asked someone else that question too. She has another tax women that said she doesn't need to give me her information unless she claims me. This is clear cut without the IRS involved, she cannot claim me this year. I think she just doesn't want to share her taxable income.
I graduated may 2020 and moved out in April and have paid my own bills for the year. Because I didn't live at home for 6 months AND supported myself (she agreed that this is true); she can't claim me, but she thinks she can and that's fraud. I'm not lying on my taxes because she refuses to 'help me'.
I've literally tried to break this down to her, she looked up the form, she's NOT budging. I just told her forget it then. All I'm asking is can I just file with an estimate and the IRS fix it because I know they can make adjustments down the line and send me a bill, thats all I want to know. Someone said they can. My mom is a hardass and just isn't reasonable.
Plus I already filed so I intended to amend anyway because of the unemployment exemption.
