My wife spent hours over our 2013 income tax return. We both read and studied the 1040 tax book sent to us by the IRS. double checked and rechecked every entry. We know how through the IRS can be finding or inventing mistakes on forms and claims sent in.

We sent in our tax return and we found we had over paid by (Get this) $60.

We live on Social Security a Veterans small benefit and a small annuity. out of that we find a way to support my son who is sixty years old and out of work.

I am a terrorist veteran of the Korean Police Action. I served my country with honor. I have never threatened anyone with any kind of bodily harm except in line with my military duty assignments. Always paid my just taxes to the USA to for many years.

Now I am 83 years old and have not as yet done my final duty to be buried. Many of my generation have. I'm just waiting my turn.

Now the IRS has sent me a letter saying We did not file 2 forms. One was a 2021 and Iforgot what the other was. Called the IRS hot line and was told by that agent the forms did not pertain to my situation adn I had to write a letter to the agent that held my return. I did that and explained I had no idea what they were talking about and to call me so we could talk about it or write a more detailed letter. That was 3 months ago. and no reply. I think the problem is my terrorist connection with the military back in 1948 - 1952.

Got any views on the matter?

The 2021 appears to be a multiple support form that needs to be signed by your son to wave his right to fiile.
"Form 2120, Multiple Support Declaration"
There appears to be no revisions to this law since 2005 so there should be no research involved for loop holes.
This is the link where you can download it.
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f2120.pdf
It looks pretty cut and dry and you can fill in the boxes then print it out and send it.
If you can not print it and need help PM me and give me your address and I will print it off for you and send it to you.

Thank you for your service sir.

I t looks like there is a change that was not listed specifically to this form but over all.(in general). It says.
"The rules for multiple support agreements still apply to claiming an
exemption for a qualifying relative, but they no longer apply to
claiming an exemption for a qualifying child. For the definitions of
“qualifying relative” and “qualifying child,” see your tax return
instruction booklet."

In instruction booklet this is what it says.

What's New


Exemption amount. The amount you can deduct for each exemption has increased. It was $3,800 for 2012. It is $3,900 for 2013.

Exemption phaseout. You lose at least part of the benefit of your exemptions if your adjusted gross income is more than a certain amount. For 2013, this amount is $150,000 for a married individual filing a separate return; $250,000 for a single individual; $275,000 for a head of household; and $300,000 for married individuals filing jointly or a qualifying widow(er). See Phaseout of Exemptions , later.





Introduction


This chapter discusses the following topics.


•Personal exemptions — You generally can take one for yourself and, if you are married, one for your spouse.


•Exemptions for dependents — You generally can take an exemption for each of your dependents. A dependent is your qualifying child or qualifying relative. If you are entitled to claim an exemption for a dependent, that dependent cannot claim a personal exemption on his or her own tax return.


•Phaseout of exemptions — Your deduction is reduced if your adjusted gross income is more than a certain amount.


•Social security number (SSN) requirement for dependents — You must list the SSN of any dependent for whom you claim an exemption.




Deduction. Exemptions reduce your taxable income. You can deduct $3,900 for each exemption you claim in 2013. But you may lose at least part of the dollar amount of your exemptions if your adjusted gross income is more than a certain amount. See Phaseout of Exemptions , later.

How to claim exemptions. How you claim an exemption on your tax return depends on which form you file.
If you file Form 1040EZ, the exemption amount is combined with the standard deduction amount and entered on line 5.
If you file Form 1040A, complete lines 6a through 6d. The total number of exemptions you can claim is the total in the box on line 6d. Also complete line 26.
If you file Form 1040, complete lines 6a through 6d. The total number of exemptions you can claim is the total in the box on line 6d. Also complete line 42.

Exemptions


There are two types of exemptions you may be able to take:


•Personal exemptions for yourself and your spouse, and


•Exemptions for dependents (dependency exemptions).


While each is worth the same amount ($3,900 for 2013), different rules apply to each type.





Personal Exemptions


You are generally allowed one exemption for yourself. If you are married, you may be allowed one exemption for your spouse. These are called personal exemptions."

I I got one and it plainly states "Do Not File With your Return. Keep it for your own records." Then the instructions do not say to have my dependant sign it either.

My question is 'Why no reply after three months from the IRS to my letter replying to their initial letter? Except to be singled out to teach me something. Like being a patriot is not being politically correct anymore.

None of which apply. ?????

It is an IRS form that is to be submitted as proof that the person being claimed has put his signature on something that he isn't also filing. Im just telling you what it says. I don't know why you are asking us why the IRS hasn't called you back. We would have no way of knowing that.
You're welcome.
