Does not claiming your child on your taxes help them obtain loans and grants? |
I heard that if you don't claim your child on your taxes for 2 years that they will qualify for more loans and grants. What is the best way to get the most out of grants/loans on your taxes? different places go by different rules (for loans). heres a site that can answer all of those questions (its PACKED with loan info). if its salliemae, look at the link list below for the dependancy status guidelines. http://www.financialaidpodcast.com/about... http://www.myspace.com/financialaidpodca... http://www.financialaidpodcast.com... also, try to avoid loans if at all possible.. i dont know what your child(ren) needs are for school, so i will post all of it for you: try to aim for grants/scholarships more... they are not to be paid back. its confusing sometimes, but just keep applying. every big (and small) company you see (manufacturer, orgs, corps and groups also) all have grants and scholarships they hand out like candy. Walmart, Kmart, Target, Coke, computer companies etc etc etc heres a link with a HUGE amount of some available. some you will need to copy and paste into a new window. also, fastweb (take the time to fill it in) will search databases and get back to you with a list of scholarships you qualify for. Also contact all mens, womens associations in your state, they almost always have grants & scholarships. What ever field you are going into, contact the orgs, associations etc for them; Also check with professional organizations related to your career interests, such as the American Bar Association or the American Medical Association. they also always have scholarships. Research and dig, call then write. Its all worth it. OVER apply; it doesnt hurt to have too many, and the extra funds can help with housing. http://www.angelfire.com/nj4/njcomputerc...

A lot of corporations want to be seen as "good neighbors" in the community. And they need a way to attract young workers. So some of them grant scholarships, usually from $1,500 to $10,000. When visiting the websites of these companies, on the home page look for something like: ABOUT US or CORP INFO. Click on that, and then look for something like: COMMUNITY or COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT. check out: 1. BestBuy (2 scholarships from each store for $1,500 and they enter you at their headquarters for a $10,000 scholarship). 2. Comcast (your high school principal must recommend you for a $1,000 scholarship. They also have paid internship at a limited number of locations nationwide.) 3. Cracker Barrel (www.cbrlgroup.com) for employees, or their children - $1,000 4. Kohls (each store awards $50 and a certificate; then submits their winners to the region. Regional winners receive $1,000 and are submitted to the corporate headquarters. Corporate level winners get a $5,000 scholarship and a $1,000 donation to their favorite charity.) 5. Wal-Mart (www.walmartfoundation.org) Each store awards $1,000 to 2 students at each school in their area. Or if you have been an employee for 12 months, you qualify to apply for a $2,500 scholarship. 6. McDonalds (as Ronald McDonald House Charities at: www.RMHC.ORG) varies by region of the county. But a typical award is $1,000. May be from the corporation or from an association of stores in your area. Each of these companies have a simple application (1鈥? pages) process. Several of these are receiving applications now. Some are closing as soon as Feb 12th. i don't think so No, not true. It has nothing to do with that - it has to do more with the amount of income you are reporting. If you are in a higher income range, it will hurt him in terms of getting grants and scholarships. He needs to report all of his parents and income when applying for financial aid anyway. It depends on your household income. The more money you make the less grant money your dependents will qualify for. That's certainly one requirement. But it is in no way sufficient. Your income and assets will be used to determine financial aid amounts unless your child is declared to be independent. If your child is independent, then only the child's income will be used. To be independent: The child can't be claimed as a dependent on anybody else's taxes The child can't live with you You can't financially support the child. The child has to be financially supporting himself. Remember what claiming a child on your income tax means - it means you have supported them for more than 50% of their income during the year. By not claiming a child, it means that your income is not considered when evaluating the need of the child. In other words, the child is no longer a dependent and will get loans based on his / her own merit. Don't forget the child must be over 18 and not in high school for this to be true. |
