G’day, I’m Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday’s tax and financial firm. To get more info go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment.

Should you be claiming your unmarried child that is in college on your tax return? And you know these questions are great, sometimes not something I can easily answer because it depends how much money did that unmarried child make in college? Are you supporting that person? And are they full-time students or part-time students? These are important questions because there is quite a bit of college credits available to you, assuming your income is in the brackets that would actually allow you to have it. If you need help determining should you or should you not be claiming your college student, you need to give us a call at 615-367-0819.

You can catch the Dr. Friday Call-In Show live every Saturday afternoon from two to three p.m. right here on 99.7 WTN.
