So here's an idea that would probably get me and my son killed.
I would love to send out 1099s to the drug dealers who sell drugs to my grown son. My husband and I are the sole financial support for my 38 yr old son, and my son's 15 yr son (who has an unofficial dx of Asperger), but I can't use them as a tax deduction. Last yr, $45,000 out of my income went directly to their support, and since I am self employed(my husband is retired), I still had to pay a crap load of taxes because of having no deductions!! My grandson's mother got the rights to always file the taxes in the divorce agreement even though my grandson lives with us! Maybe I need to cross the border and come back across so I can identify as an illegal!
No one knows the back story, so please don't judge, but I would appreciate prayers.
Just so you know, my son is considered a "functional user" - this is someone who doesn't "use" to get high but uses in order to function as close to normal as possible. The addiction started about 20 yrs ago following bowel surgeries, but if it wasn't for his addiction, I am sure he would have been an extremely successful person. He can do anything! He's always offering his help to others. He loves to work, but it's really hard to hold a job when you have a problem with addiction.
But anyway, I would just once love to be able to claim the dealers on my taxes!! I can't even begin to imagine the money that has gone to them one way or another in the last 20 years!!
