I've gone to H&R since I started needing to do taxes back in 1999. They've always found stuff for me, and this year was the best of all. Since I'm a full-time student, living at home, and my parents made too much money this year to qualify for the earned income credit for the other kids, I was able to claim them, since I do a lot of the work to help out. If you help them get to/from school, cook meals, etc., and basically are one of the main caregivers, and you live at home, you can qualify for it. I questioned how safe it was to do this, but my tax lady called H&$ Headquarters (?) and got verification that I met the requirements. Long story short, $5k came my way

Also, if there's ever a problem with your filing, it's H&R's ass. They have to go to bat for you with lawyers and everything.
