I retract my statement! But that does present an interesting problem. My
ex and I alternate years for claiming the exemption and tax credit (I get
even tax years, she gets odd tax years). Since the $400 is an advance
refund for 2003 taxes, the refund check I receive is really hers. Guess I
better not spend the money, as my tax liability just increased $400. Damn
republicans, it figures they'd screw-up. No Bin Laden, no Saddam, no WMD,
and no tax reduction.

But, they *finally* got Eric Rudolph after what--7 or 8 years? (Well, *they*
didn't really get him;
a rookie cop down in some tiny town caught him dumpster diving. Ya' think
Bin Laden's worried ;-)

Makes me wonder why I voted for Bush. This should

make for a very interesting tax season. :-)

................................................

It is based on last years tax return because that is what was changed,
namely the dependent tax credit was retroactively increased for tax

year

2002 from $600 to $1000. For tax year 2003 the credit will be $1000,

unless

they make another change.

Not according to the IRS. The change is in year 2003 and when 2003 taxes

are

filed,
the advance must be deducted from the 1000. allowance.
