Embarassing brosef.

I'm just trying to shed some light on the issue (Its what I do for a living, I am a licensed CPA). Everyone's situation is a little different especially when it comes to finances. We have no clue what kind of self-employment income he has. If he truly has earned income, it could possibly be that he got the earned income tax credit (only U.S. citizens and permanent residents can get this credit). Plus he could also be lying to you. The only way to verify this is by looking at his tax return, which none of us have the right to do. In my opinion, yes there are certainly many tax loopholes that are available to us as individuals. As long as we don't abuse them, stay true to the rules, it shouldn't be a problem. And about your own tax return, that $823 actually looks very good. Seems like you just got your money back. I'm just curious as to why you think you should be getting more and where do you expect the "more" to come from? If you have some time, sit down and read your tax return line by line, it will make sense brosef.

and no, DACA is not gonna end anytime soon, unless there is a permanent replacement.. President Obama made sure of that and relayed it to President Trump.
