My girlfriend is filing as head of household because she makes more money than me and is claiming our daughter. Thing is, she was also a full-time college student during all of 2005. Is she allowed to include herself as a credit as she fits into the 19-24 age group? If you go to the H&R Block website (www.hrblock.com) and use the tax estimator, under personal information it asks for students 19-24. Just wondering if she is allowed to claim herself as a deduction/credit or whatever.

By turbotax for $20. You can deduct the price of the software from your income - and don't have to deal with all this tax law crap.

Anyway, I THINK (read: not positive) that the credit for college is only if she's someone's dependant, and the credit goes to them
