If I get a new job it will mean that my income will go up so that our combined income will be very close to the threshold whereby we wont get any ftb a or b or at possibly about $10-$15 dollars ftb a. I am an overestimating kind a gal so I would probably add an extra 1-2 grand on top of what I would expect to get then I would definitely getting nothing. however if end of year comes and our actual income is less then would we get the school kids bonus paid out after our taxes etc are done? or would we miss out altogether? does that make sese? thanks
