I personally have never known anyone who did.....not saying it cant happen...but I have to believe you open yourself up to an audit if you do.
My daughter does, every year. She has one child, claims head of household, makes approximately $35,000 per year and always gets a refund of around 4,000-5,000 dollars. It's the Earned Income Tax Credit. The federal government pays her.
Yes...I can see that.
Question...how would you feel if your daughter lost that?
It would make me sad, she always needs that $ however, it gives her little incentive to improve herself to get in a better tax bracket.
Here's a Yahoo thread (all I could find quickly) that tells how it's done. Tax refund for dependents? More than you pay? - Yahoo! Answers
