So my husband and I both worked last year. I worked for half the year due to being pregnant. We filed our taxes married filing joint and our son was on their. But we only got back 900. My parents got back 1200 and my mom doesn't work. So whats going on? There were to many rules to this getting money back. I know at least we got something but we are a poor family right now with a five month old child. Babies aren't cheap.
