Kites, headaches and child

I flew a kite with my husband yesterday. Baby wanted nothing to do with it. I ended up putting it together. I couldn't figure out were the pockets for the short rods went, so my husband did that part. Anyways, we took turns flying it and playing on the outdoor equipment with the two year old. I got some rope burn on my right middle finger. It stung bad yesterday, but it's fine today.

I did my taxes. Well, most of them. I need the 1099-M that's coming in and the other forms I ordered. I ended up needing a 8812 and 8919.

If you have a child, or dependent, you can't file 1040-EZ. You have to file a 1040-A, which doesn't cover all the forms of income and deductions that a 1040 covers. Oh, and that 1099M isn't on the A form, go figure.

8919 is the form for unreported SSI taxes on wages that weren't tips. 8812 is in order to get the full $1,000 credit for my child. They want to give you that money, but you have to file a form if your tax is lower than the credit amount. They pay you the money. I need to look into EIC. We're paying in only for them to tell us, oh hey you make shit so have all your money back. Thanks, really needed another reminder of barely making it here.
