Where can I file taxes to claim my daughter if I didnt work?
I want to file my taxes. But most places say you cant file taxes if you didnt work becuz of no taxable income bla bla...but I know that I can cuz I got a student loan and am going to school and I have a daughter thats 2 years old. I want to claim her...I already know I wont get any money but the point is to claim my daughter does anyone know where I can file or what forms to fill out? I live in Bakersfield California if that makes a difference... What I dont understand is why people who have nothing relevant to my question put any input at all. All i want is to know where to file. I didnt make any taxable income I get it so I wont get money I got it. I still have the right to file. All I need is a straight answer as to where or what form to fill thats it. All the other bs means virtually nothing so save it for someone who cares.

the student loan is not income, and without income, everyone is right, there is no reason to file any income tax return if you want to file simply for the sake of your daughter, it will have absolutely no bearing on anything

"I already know I wont get any money but the point is to claim my daughter" I don't understant what you mean by "the point is to claim my daughter" Claim her for what??? You said it yourself, you would get nothing so there would be absolutely no point. You have no income, therefore you have nothing to file or claim. Student loans mean nothing, bc you have no income. "Most places" are right and you are wrong. You won't be filing anything this year. If you are not working and you have a daughter, who is supporting you and her? Are you living with parents, a boyfriend..etc? That person is likely able to claim your daughter and possibly you on their taxes. If someone else is eligible to claim your daughter, you have no choice in the matter.

Just fill out a return. You don't need income to file.
4 :
Instead of getting more money from the taxpayers, you should pay us back for taking care of your child. Obviously you dont do that and are using the government programs, which by the way will all be ended soon.
5 :
If you got a student loan and paid tuition with it, you might actually be eligible for a refund even though you did not work. Please check this out. You can always send in a paper return.

It sounds like you want to claim your daughter so no one else can? If so, you can file a paper return. With no income, you'll have no return, but it would prevent anyone else from being able to claim your daughter, because the SSN would be used.
