When/How to File. 1  File the letter of protest as soon as possible after the subject application is filed and preferably before publication. Pre-publication letters of protest are accepted if the evidence is relevant and supports a reasonable ground for refusal. After publication, a letter of protest is only accepted if the evidence supports a clear error on the part of the USPTO in approving the mark for publication.
Children in College. The IRS extends the age limit for qualifying children for those in college. If your son is 23 and a full-time college student at the end of the calendar year, you can claim him on your income tax if he meets the other requirements for a qualified child. Temporary absences due to education and vacation don't count as time living away from you.
This is true even if you chose not to claim your child as a dependent on your own tax return. Can I still claim the Child Tax Credit? Each dependent child under the age of 17 can qualify you for the $1,000 per child tax credit. The credit is available to you even if your child is working and paying taxes on their income. Unfortunately, the year your child turns 17 the tax credit is no longer available. When is my child's tax return due? Even children have to file their tax return and pay their taxes by April 15. Which forms should I use? If your dependent child has a job with a W-2 and no investment income, they can usually file Form 1040 EZ, Income Tax Return for Single and Joint Filers With No Dependents. Again, if your child has multiple sources of income or had their own business, the tax implications could be more tricky.
