Can I claim my grandmother who is 70 year old and lives in a nursing home as a dependent?

Q. My grandmother is 70 and lives in a nursing home, I furnish all of the support for her, I paid over $12,000 for the nursing home, bought her a wheelchair, paid for her doctor's fees. Can I claim her as a dependent and deduct those expenses?

A. Yes. Provided, as it is very likely, that she ...

1) does not earn more than $3,650 gross income. In this case, if only social security, that does not count as gross income.

2) Including all her income, such as pensions and social security, you still provide over 50% support. As you say, you furnish all support.

You can deduct medical expenses on your tax return for a dependent, but not the entire cost of the nursing home. Ask them for a breakdown of the expenses, the room and board portion will not count. The other expenses, wheelchair, doctor fees, medications, etc. do count.

What are the chances of me not getting the job because of training (call centre sales agent/telemarketing))?

Q. I was called back from a services call centre job for a home furnishing company and they were hiring quite a few summer students. Since they called me for training it means that they want me there right? And does that mean the chance of me failing the training is small? My duties are answering calls for the company and solving issues as well as try to sell products. Also, anybody been through training for call centre jobs or telemarketing? How hard is the training?

A. Depending on the company. The training for one was 2 weeks long and you read off of a sheet. The CSR's at my company go through 12 weeks of training but it's for medical and they need to know more than just how to do returns.
