The patient's preference may also increase costs. The type of laser eye surgery your surgeon ultimately recommends is for your best possible outcome, yet may impact the LASIK eye surgery cost. Before committing, be sure to ask for the price break down of the LASIK procedure offered so you know exactly what to expect.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) allows you to claim your elderly parent as a dependent on a tax return as long as no one else does. If you choose to claim an exemption for your parent, you must also ensure that you are not an eligible dependent to another taxpayer.
However, an exception is made for the birth of your child. You can claim your baby as a dependent for the tax year as long as the baby was born in that tax year. For example, you could claim your baby on your taxes for 2015 and subsequent years if she was born on Dec. 31, 2015. However, if the baby was born on Jan. 1, 2016 or after, you could only claim her for the 2016 tax year and beyond. In order to claim your baby as a dependent, she needs to have a Social Security number.
