Today’s confession…
Filing Head of Household doesn’t boil down to who WORKS the most - it boils down to who PAYS the most ANNNNNND has a qualifying dependent!
Yes, multiple bread winners can live under one roof, but there can be only 1️⃣ HOH
🍋No, grade schoolers can’t claim an education credit
🍋No, having a lip gloss business doesn’t make you HOH
🍋& No, pets are NOT DEPENDENTS (I wish)
Don’t be like Lyb, - ask questions before you file & be sure to file with an EXPERT like myself! Save time & stress!
SN: if you not the David Ruffin in your house, you SHOULD NOT be filing HOH
File self-employed with someone who is self-employed.
In 2022, I took nine months off from a 9-to-5 to focus on my business, so my W-2 income was minimal.
I filed a Schedule C for my business income, and Because my income was organized — profits, losses, deposits, and paper trail — I was approved for an auto loan (first non cash car ever 😵💫) with no co-signer using self-employed income ALONE, also with NO MONEY DOWN, Cz that’s actually illegal! (covered under U.S. Title Fed Law taught in my credit control program -dm for program details).
Anywaysss That approval wasn’t luck. It came from:
• Properly reported income
• Consistent filing
• Clean deposits and documentation
• A clear paper trail
This is what filing self-employed the right way does. It positions you for real-world financial opportunities — not just tax season.
Filing self-employed is never complicated when you file with LC Tax Prep & Notary! Dm me for next steps.

Tax Code Cheat Code
💸 826 — THEY SNATCHED YOUR REFUND
The IRS used your refund to pay a debt. Child support, student loans, state taxes… yep, that’s where your money went.
💰 846 — THE MONEY CODE
Refund issued. Green light. Bag released. The date next to it is when your money LEFT the IRS.
⏸️ 570 — THEY PUT A HOLD ON YOUR MONEY
Something triggered a review. No release. No movement. It’s sitting until they finish checking whatever flagged.
🧊 810 — FREEZE ALERT
Identity, exam, or security issues. Your refund is BLOCKED until you clear it. Nothing moves.
🔥 811 — FREEZE LIFTED
They unfroze your refund. Now we wait for that lovely 846 to pop up.
📝 971 — THEY SENT YOU A LETTER
Account activity logged. Could be ID verify, missing info, corrections… watch your mailbox.
📬 977 — AMENDED RETURN POSTED
Your 1040X is officially in the system. Amended return accepted and processing.
😰 424 — EXAM/AUDIT REVIEW
Your return got pulled for extra eyes. Doesn’t always mean full audit, but something needed a closer look.
😮💨 425 — EXAM REVIEW MOVED
Activity or movement in the exam process. Depends what happened before this code context matters.
📚 768 — EARNED INCOME CREDIT
This is where your EIC lives. Parents, y’all look for THIS when checking how much credit posted.
🏆 177 — PENALTY REDUCTION
The IRS cut down your estimated tax penalty. Any time they remove a penalty… that’s a WIN.
⚠️ 091 — BUSINESS CLASSIFICATION CHANGE
They switched how your account or business is categorized. If you see this and you run a hustle? Yeah… get a tax pro IMMEDIATELY.

Confessions of a Tax Lady Part 2
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be aware of what actually qualifies someone as a dependent & if you can LEGALLY claim them!
❌No you cannot claim a child or relative that someone else has claimed!
❌NO you cannot claim someone that did not live with you over half the year NOR did you financially support (over 50%) throughout the year!
❌& NO your dependents can’t claim additional dependents like Lyb- even if they do -do chores 😂😂😂
Moral is…
NO SUPPORT=NO DEPENDENT
