1. What is the etiquette for teens applying for jobs? The reason I ask is dd finally has the opportunity to go job searching after lacrosse practice today.
2. She will still be in her practice clothing, now one place she is going is at a dog boarding kennel, so I wouldn't think her "looks" will matter too much there, but I am assuming any other place she should look "professional"? And on that note - how professional? I assume I don't need to go buy her a suit lol, but should she wear dress pants or are nice jeans and shirt good enough?
3. OH and on the W4's do they put 0 exemptions?
4. Is it tacky for me to go bet the applications for her and her return them when she can? (she has 4 lax games this week, going to camp this weekend, lax game on Tues. then she's done - she has to get a work permit and that takes a week)
5. She's really nervous about filling out applications - can I help her?
Any advice whatsoever would be greatly appreciated!

You are correct that she cannot be claimed as a dependent on both your taxes and hers. For 2006, I believe the amount of earned income one has to have in order to have to file taxes is $5150. If she earned less than that, she doesn't have to file. Even if you claim her as a dependent on yours, claiming the deduction she will give you, she should then turn around and file her own taxes with NO dependedents marking the space "someone else is claiming me as a dependent". As long as her earned income is less than $5150, she should get everything she paid in taxes back on her return.
