Doubt that. Must be something lost in the translation. That could only happen when the parties file fed taxes jointly. As in a married couple. Even then the “Injured Party” can file a form to get their portion of the return.
I don’t see how a seventeen year old files jointly with a mom.
Since I don’t remember the Freepers name, there is not much else to say.
I do not doubt that people who are not currently experiencing this, will want to believe it. But I have come across different Freepers who have had this experience, in different ways. I don’t doubt them.
Time will tell the issue. ;)
