I'm a single mom with one child and would like to know what is the minimum amount of income I would need to make in order to qualify for earned income credit on that child?Whats the minimum amount of income a single parent with a child to file for a tax return?
If you earned between $1 and $50, you would get $9 in Earned Income Credit (EIC). The amount of EIC increases as the amount of earned income increases - until you hit $8050 in earned income. Between $8050 and $14,850, the EIC amount is $2747. Once you earn more than $14,850, the EIC amount slowly decreases until you hit $32,000, at which point it is phased out completely.
All of these figures are based on filing as Single or Head of Household, with one child qualifying for EIC. They are also the figures that would have been used to file a 2006 return - the 2007 EIC table is not yet published, but will be fairly similar to this.
Hope this helps!Whats the minimum amount of income a single parent with a child to file for a tax return?
to get the max its about $14,000 - $15,000
i think $7,000 is when you start getting eligible for the earned income
but it could change for the next year

My parents have forced me to take vyvanse the adhd proactive drug. How can i not loose weight?
I really dont want to loose weight what can i do?My parents have forced me to take vyvanse the adhd proactive drug. How can i not loose weight?
I have the same problem. I take Vyvanse and my appetite is suppressed while on it. What I do now is just force myself to eat even when I am not hungry. As my doctor said it is not that you aren't hungry its that your body doesn't think its hungry. So far my weight has stayed about the same.My parents have forced me to take vyvanse the adhd proactive drug. How can i not loose weight?
Make sure to keep on eating 3 regular healthy meals a day. Try taking healthy yet high energy snacks like almonds.
Hopefully, with time you'll get used to the medication.
Vyvanse like all stimulants is a powerful medication. If you are suffering from ADHD symptoms, it could be quite useful.

My parents are financially irresponsible and want me to cosign a personal loan. What should I do?
My parents (in-law's, actually) are in their late 50's, and should be preparing for retirement. In stead, they are spending erratically, racking up massive credit card debt, remodeling their home, etc. Yesterday they asked me to cosign a personal loan, which they plan to use to pay back a payday advance from a predatory lender. How to I help my parents without jeopardizing my financial security, too? Any money I give (I don't lend money to family) is that much less I have for my kid's college accounts.My parents are financially irresponsible and want me to cosign a personal loan. What should I do?
Oh boy, what a mess to be in. On the one hand, you want to help and be accommodating since after all, these are your wife's parents. On the other hand, if you say ';no'; you could strain relations between you and the in-laws, not to mention your wife.
However, to protect your own credit, absolutely do not co-sign on a personal loan ~ever~ with these people. From what I've read, they will probably default on the loan leaving you stuck with paying the tab if you want to preserve your credit. If you want to give them the money that's fine; however, this sets up a precedence that you will give them money when asked, therefore enabling them to continue spending foolishly.
My ex is like your in-laws and my grown sons have a great way of handling their dad's financial irresponsibility:
First, they never hand their dad cash but will buy him groceries or fill up his gas tank whenever he asks for money. If he asks for additional funds, they always reply ';Sorry Dad, that's all I have to spare.';
Secondly, when ever their Dad runs short, they will sit down with him and discuss his spending habits %26amp; bills, and help him develop a strategy for reducing debt. This debt reduction plan may even include having a garage sale, or selling off a car.
You could try this with your inlaws, and even offer to pay for them to go in for credit counseling, but never, ever give them cash or co-sign on a loan. Once you start, you'll be setting yourself up for a lifetime of phone calls and visits from them whining for financial help.
My parents are financially irresponsible and want me to cosign a personal loan. What should I do?
Don't do it. Tell them you don't lend money to anyone, family included. They have made their bed and they should lie in it.
If they try to manipulate you, just tell them you'll prevent them from seeing their grandchildren.
You shouldn't touch this co-signer thingy with a 12 foot barge pole. The only family you are responsible for are the ones under your own roof.
Best wishes, and be strong.
Marcus,
NO, NO, NO and NO! Please do not cosign. It is like co-signing for an inexperienced teen. Practice tough love, much as they would for you if your roles were reversed. Sometimes you have to let them fall clear to the bottom before humility and life kicks in some reality. Your wife will have to understand. Refer them to a debt counselor/consolidation agency and tell them the buck stops here and now. They will be upset with you...What can you really say? I feel for you because you are between a rock and a hard place. Suggest mom and dad in law, health permitting, get a second job. I wish you loads of luck.
DO NOT DO IT! The fact that they need a cosigner at all at their age says it all. You would be jeopardizing your family's future. If you decide to give (lend) them a large amount of money, ask for a Second Trust deed against their house. That way, when they pass away, you may have an opportunity to recoup some of that money.
DO NOT DO IT!!! If they don't repay the loan, the lender will come after YOU and it will negatively affect your credit and will hurt your chances of your financial security in the future. As you said, they are very financially irresponsible and can get you down that path too...
Do not co-sign. Distance yourself from them as much as you can
Do NOT do it!!!!! In their 50s and needing a cosigner? That is sad.
Under no circumstances should you co-sign a personal loan for your inlaws. You already know that chances are they will default on this loan too and then you would be held liable 100% to pay it back.
Not to mention their ';late payments'; and default could hurt your credit score.
Simply tell them a little white lie:
Mainly that your own credit isn't good enough to qualify you as a Co-signer. Case closed. Let them move on to the next prospective family victim.
They will never learn financial responsibility if the family keeps bailing them out. And one more thing.... Never do financial deals with your family and best friends. It has an 80% chance of ruining your relationship with your inlaws and friends.
If you have the cash and feel sorry for them then send a money order to the loan sharks to keep their payments up to date.
But make sure that there is no way that this could be interpreted as you assuming responsibility for their payments. One reason for using a money order and not your personal checks.

Are parents allowed to go with a person to the boarding area of a plane?
I was just wondering if that's possible,because I'll probably end up getting lost if I have to go on my own after security. Is there a certain age where a person can't do that?Are parents allowed to go with a person to the boarding area of a plane?
For teens under 18, usually 1 parent is allowed to go to the gate. Stop at the airline ticket counter for the parent to get a pass to show at the security checkpoint.Are parents allowed to go with a person to the boarding area of a plane?
Yes parents can go with you to the gate. The just need to get a security clearance pass. It is very easy. After 12 you can fly alone, without having to have a stewardess stay with you, but your parents can still walk you to the gate. I am assuming that this is until you are 17. My daughter is 15 and I can still get a security pass to walk her to the gate when she goes to visit her dad. Also, the parent meeting you can also get a pass to meet you at the gate, although it is usually easier to just meet at baggage claim. Don't worry about it!
your parent or guardian can go past the security but not into the airplane to tell u bye. u have to be ten or older to fly by your self.
If you are not travelling then you cannot go beyond security.skin

How to hide a lip piercing from my parents?
Don't tell me not to do it because I already did it. Don't tell me to fess up either because I won't. Please help me people!
Just some ideas of how to hide it if only for a few days. I've heard of plastic retainers but what are they, by the way?How to hide a lip piercing from my parents?
Use a retainer. Like people said it's not good to put them in untill its healed, but it should be fine. When I got my lip pierced I put a retainer in it after a week of getting it pierced because I had work, and it worked fine and didn't affect my lip. The only thing you want to avoide is changing it all the time. You really shouldn't be going back and forth from the ring to a retainer until its healed. It makes the healing go slower since your always messing with it. And you have to clean it a lot more. But like I said I changed mine quit often for work and yeah it healed a little slower but it was all good.How to hide a lip piercing from my parents?
took the words right out of my mouth!! a plastic retainer is just like a regular lip ring accept its clear and flat and somebody has to literally be staring you down to see it! i think walmart has them! but go to your local piercing place and ask they should have them also!
also try medical tape and make up! my gf hid her nose ring for a month by doing this! basically you take a small piece of white medical tape over the lip stud and put foundation on top of it works every time. and again someone has to be literally staring you down to notice! good luck!
You don't.
If people can't notice a piece of tape on your face simply because it's covered by foundation, then they're blind. Who pierces their face and then after the fact tries to come up with a way to hide it from their parents? A smart person would've tried to think up a plan of attack beforehand. And then realized that it's stupid and not done it. Oh well, we can't all be smart.
ummmmm..........oh you can hide it at your friends house if she has a ring pierce thats ok to hide it there because there parents would be like what is this yadeyayayayade and you can take it of,put lotion or petroleuom jelly so your lip wont look red and junk then they would act like nothing hppened
get the smallest earring it possible, and of a light shade, then put cover up on it. When your parents ask, say it's a bad pimple. It may work for a while, but you can't hide a lip piercing forever.
ok i know this is going to sound stupid but it's the only thing i can think of right now lol... but a bandage over it then tell them you somehow cut your lip and if they ask to see just say it hurts to take it off.:)
You can't put a plastic retainer in it until it's healed.
They're clear studs,you can't see them but because they're plastic are no good for a healing piercing.
I honestly don't know how you can hide it.
you don't want to cover it up with makeup, because it could get into your lip and make it infected. i really don't know how you're planning on hiding it, its on your face, come on!
easyy peasy,
buy a clear bar from your piercer that you can screw the ball on the end of..
then just take the ball off around your parents.
thats how i hide mine from my teachers at school.
works so much better than a retainer =]
this is just really dumb.
its highly impossible.

Our parents want me and my friend to have a structured activity after we got caught with alocohol?
They think that our boredom leads us to risky behavior. Both 15, girls. Any ideas?Our parents want me and my friend to have a structured activity after we got caught with alocohol?
I would say taht your parents are right. You have lost their trust for now, and it will take a long time to build that trust back up. Beleive me, you could have a lot worse 'punishments' thant his. Feel lucky, and also feel loved. Your parents could hav sent you t oa 'boot camp', or worse.Our parents want me and my friend to have a structured activity after we got caught with alocohol?
Read a book.
I'm serious! There's so much on this planet we can be learning instead of wasting our time, money and health...
There are so many things we can do to better ourselves and the world we live in.
Educate yourselves on the subject of alcohol (so you're not just doing it 'just because') or do types of community services.
Do anything as long as it's positive and productive.
Also, don't forget to thank your parents for their advice :)
I quote:
';Good Alchol is nothing but a Losing Poison !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GET A STRUCTURED activity';
Actually Jennifer, alcohol is good for you, but drinking too much is bad for you. (Sorry to go off topic, I just wanted to point that out)
Yes, parents are correct. Seems that you and your friends make bad decisons when you have free time. You need more structure so that you will live to have a more happy and productive life.
Why not play soccer, tennis, or vollyball.
1. get magazines and cut out words, letters, or pictures to make collages.
2. if you have netflix, order a dance or work out video and try it.
3. bake a cake
4. redecorate your room
Yes it does. Its been proven to lead to pot, alcohol and other drugs. Find an activity to do and when your older you can drink.
Volunteer at the local animal clinic or animal shelter. They always need volunteers. Who doesn't like helping kittens and puppies?!
I don't think thats true. I know alot of very busy girls who go to dance 3 hours a day and they're always caught drinking. How about you just don't drink!!!
i agree - volunteer with a group in the town
or join a team (ball or hockey)
or, get jobs and get paid for your time. Save your money and go travel!
Dog walking? Babysitting? Volunteering at youth facilities in the area helping younger kids?
Go wash floors at the local detox facility.

How many chromosomes and chromosome pairs does the Parent cell have before undergoing mitosis?
Also i need to know how many choromosomes and chromosome pairs the Parent cell has before undergoing meiosis.How many chromosomes and chromosome pairs does the Parent cell have before undergoing mitosis?
If we are talking about humans, then all cells except the sex cells (and the red blood cells that lose their nuclei) have 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs. That is written as 2N=46, N=23. Mitosis is a process where you start with one cell, and end with two, and the two new cells have the same types and numbers of chromosomes than the original cell.
Meiosis is a different process, where you start with 46 chromosomes and 23 pairs, and end up with cells (gametes) with 23 chromosomes and one chromosome from each pair.
