What kind of income do you have?

if you're claiming your son and filing Single - you would need to make over 11,000 before you owe any tax - if you've earned less than that, you should get any and all income tax refunded - you may also be eligible for Earned Income Credit and child tax credit

Is the $300 your income, or what was withheld for federal income tax? It's not clear from the info you give. If it's your total income, then you'd get back whatever you had withheld, and might also get $111 for an Earned Income Credit. If the $300 is your federal income tax withholding, you don't give enough info to answer your question although you'd almost certainly get back the withholding.

If the baby has lived with you for the entire time since he's been born, and not with the father, then you can claim him as long as you aren't a dependent. If the father also lives with the baby, then he could claim him if you both agree that he can do it that way, or if his income is higher than yours. If the baby lives with you and not with the father, then the father can only claim him if you give him written permission.

If you are listed as a dependent on your parents taxes it doesn't matter if you have a son or not. Your parents will claim you and 'may' under certain circumstances claim your son.

Do you still live at home? Do you work or do your parents provide 50% or more of your support and living expenses? Does the father of your son provide any child support, court-ordered or not?

If you are not a dependent in terms of your parents tax return, then the amount of your return will depend on how much your adjusted gross income was for 2007, what credits you may claim and how much money has already been withheld for your federal income taxes.

You'll also have to make sure the child's father is not claiming him and you'll need the child's social security number.

Also, your mother's disability shouldn't change whether or not she can claim you as a dependent. If you live at home and she, through whatever way she can, provides your support then by definition, you are her dependent.

You'll need a social security number for your son.

You can claim him if you provided the majority of support for him during the year. Talk to your parents about this, though, because they might need to claim your son (and you) if you're living at home and they're providing support for both of you. (You can't claim your son if they claim you as a dependent.)

The first link below describes some rules on dependents. There's also a resource of volunteers who can help you complete and file your return (see the second link for phone numbers and more info).

on h and r blocks web site they have a free tax calculator that will give you a good rough guess but you should get earned income credit on the child for a couple thousand dollars.

When you go to get your taxes your accountant will calculate it for you. Alot of factors matter such as below

The uniform definition of a child has four tests for claiming a child:

1. Dependent children must live with the taxpayer for more than 6 months of the tax year;
2. Dependent must be a qualifying relative (born or legally adopted child of taxpayer, legitimate foster child, brother, sister, stepbrother, or stepsister of the taxpayer or descendant of such a relative);
3. The child must be under age 19 at the end of the tax year if not a full-time student or under age 24 if a full-time student;
4. In addition, the dependent child must not provide more than 50% of his or her own support for the calendar year.

If the father tries to claim the child and you have claimed the child as well they will only give the parent the money to whomever the child has been living with the longest for the tax year.

BUT ALSO IF you are living with your parents they can actually claim you and the child since you live in their home and you wouldnt receive anything. So you should talk to them to see what they will do also..

You can claim him as your equivilant to spouse and of course for child tax credit, if you are single and raising him on your own then the father need not be involved, but for more detailed info cal revenue canada.


SBryantDenn
That's a tough question to answer, on your tax return all you need to claim a child is that child's social security number. I would file as soon as you can, cause if the Dad does the same thing the person that files thier taxes first get's the claim. I don't know how much you would get back, depends on if you work and things like that. I would rough quess a couple of thousand...

There is not enough information in your message to really tell. I am assuming you are single, and live at home with your parents. I am also assuming you didn't earn much during the year.

If that is the case, you and your child would be claimed as dependents on your parent's return. You would probably receive a refund of all taxes withheld, but you would not qualify for the earned income credit.

The father of the child would not be involved in any way in your tax return.

Again though, this answer makes many assumptions about your circumstances which may or may not be correct.


Sparkles
You have to work and pay taxes through payroll deductions before you are able to file taxes and get any of the money back.


bostonianinmo
Are you a dependent yourself? If so, you cannot claim your child though your parents almost certainly will be able to claim you both.
