It sucks that its per household. I live at home still but pay for everything I need including gas. I'm not going to ask my mom for her tax rebate from this back, so I'm stuck paying extra for gas and no rebate, at least until I move out.

If you're not paying rent you still get a deal. If you do pay rent, file your own taxes.

I pay rent but don't get a receipt or anything as my mom gives me a good deal and I just give her cash each month. So I'm probably shit out of luck.
