Did you know that you can claim your working Student on your taxes?
To claim child as a dependent, the following seven criteria must be met:
1. The parent cannot be claimed as a dependent of someone else,
2. The child cannot be filing married filing jointly unless he/she is only doing in order to receive a refund.
3. The child must be a United States citizen, a United States national, or a resident of the United States, Mexico or Canada,
4. Relationship test. The child must be your son, daughter, step child, foster child, brother, sister, step brother or step sister or any descendant of these,
5. Member of the household test. The child must have lived with your for more than half of the year. Absences for college or hospitalization or summer camp count as living with you.
6. Age test. The child must either be under age 19 or a full-time student for any part of 5 calendar months of the year, or any age and permanently and totally disabled,
7. Support test. The child cannot provide more than half of his/her support for the calendar year.
Most parents would feel that the above list is a "given". Of course, the child is a citizen, lived with me, I provided the support, etc.
However, as stated above, in order to be claimed as a dependent, the parent must pay over half of the child's support. There's the rub! It is possible that the fully-employed child is actually paying over half of his/her support. Parents should add up the total spent on supporting the child (shelter, food, clothing, etc.) and also total what they pay for the support. If it is less than half of the total, the child is not their dependent for tax purposes.
Another even more devastating way to lose a dependent is through student loans. If a child receives a loan (not a grant), it is counted as the child's income for dependency purposes. For example, if Sally receives a loan for tuition in the amount of $20,000, she will be treated as having spent that $20,000 toward her support. Her total support would have to spend more than $40,000 in order for her parents to claim her as a dependent.
Let's say that Sally also had a part-time job where she made $5000, bringing her income for calculating dependency to $25,000. Her total support would need to be at least $50,000 for her parents to be able to claim her as a dependent.

Did you know the only dwarf ever nominated for an Oscar?
The brilliant dwarf actor Michael Dunn
(best known for his recurring role as Dr. Miguelito Loveless on TV's Wild, Wild West)
was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in 1965's The Ship of Fools.
Although some have suggested that Linda Hunt should be included in that list because she
won the 1982 Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her performance as male Indonesian dwarf photographer Billy Kwan in The Year of Living Dangerously.
The 4'9" Hunt was diagnosed with hypo pituitary dwarfism (a condition in which the pituitary
gland does not release enough growth hormone) in her teens, but she does not possess the
physical characteristics unique to sufferers of dwarfism.
