I agree with the sentiment but it will need some fine tuning. You’d have to make exceptions for stay at home parents, or parents that work part time. At 26, I had a mortgage and two children at home with a third on the way. I worked part time, homeschooled the oldest and made a home for my husband who worked full time to support us.
So we need to support those young people who have actually grown up and are being responsible.
YEP...I would think someone like you (working family) could prove that thru your IRS statements....sooo...a husband and wife who are paying taxes would NOT be part of the “children” exemption.
