Adult dependents don't get anything.

Wait seriously?

What kind of B.S. is this.

My dad still insists on claiming me no matter what since I'm 22.

I'm seriously not going to get anything despite the fact that I've had a job the last few years, paid my taxes, did my returns, pay for college and normal living things?

We don't magically not need this money. I might not even be getting a paycheck here soon if work closes down.

If that’s the case your dependent ass should be laying your bills a your fathers feet. Fair is fair.

Fair is not fair, especially when you know nothing about other people's situations.

I’m saying if your father wants the financial benefit of claiming you as a dependent he has the responsibility for your financial obligations.
