Ask the landlord to give you more free rent than he would have by spreading it over the lease term. Itâs always sweet to be 3 years into a lease and have a few months free rent still coming up. Your approach should be one thatâs focused on your specific needs.
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.
Who Gets to Claim a Child. To claim a child, you must pass four basic tests. First, you must be related to the child by blood or adoption. Second, the child must have lived with you for more than half of tax year. Third, the child must be younger than 19 or under 24 and a full-time student. Lastly, the child can't have provided more than half of her own support during the year. In some situations, more than one person passes the tests to claim a dependent.
