Fist of all, she can claim as many children as are dependent on her. There is no 2 child limit. Earned income credit and child credit are just two of the many ways one can get money back.

I know you can claim as many children as are dependent to you, but you can only get money back from 2 of them, because of this, she never claims all of her children, she only claims 2 of them, let's someone else claim another and gets $500 out of their tax refund for letting them claim her kid.

I just always thought that in order to get a tax refund, you have to actually have a job. She claims on her tax refunds that she makes money as a homemaker, but she can't even afford a pack of smokes or anything because, in reality, she has no job.

Isn't this considered fraud?

A dependent is worth $850 reduction in taxable income...(not tax)...so no one with any understanding would pay $500 for it. A qualifying dependent can be a child (requires living in the home for more than 1/2 year) or a family member (which a child not living at home can be too).

There is no requirement you have a job to pay taxes. Only taxable income (which many people have without a job). And, it would seem she may be more honest than most, claiming the income she probably earns that could otherwise go unreported. So, which is it, does she not have income and claims it, or does she actually have income, but not much of it...and is broke - like many if not most of us?

Availing oneself of the programs that return benefits to people who don't have much (or any) income certainly isn't fraud...literally millions of people receive these benefits.

So she has earned income from whatever...not much...and children that qualify. Under the earned income credit...with more than one child (OK perhaps that means not more than 2) and a low earning of about 10K a year (which basically winds up to no tax liability)...you can get about 5K a year. That's just one way...that is not only legal but promoted heavily by the government to make sure people in that situation get the money.

Who should get a refund after someone's death?

What type of refund are you looking for. If you or the person bought an item that you no longer need or is broken you can get a refund that way, within reason of course. You cant and shouldn't look for a refund from any used medical items or gifts that were given to this person. If your talking about having paid for someone's funeral and you were not given the items that you paid for or the service was poor and you can prove it, then you may be entitled to a refund but have your info ready. Other than that I don't know what refund you are seeking.

How do you get my tax refund put in a different persons name?

If you are an American citizen, you might try asking the IRS this question, but it sounds quite irregular to me. Chances are, the government will want to issue your refund to you, rather than to someone else. If they don't, they risk causing confusion about the issue of why they issued money to that other person, and whether you received the refund to which you are entitled. And after all, if you want someone else to have the money, you can always turn it over to that person once you have received it.
