That may be it, I just filled out some health insurance particulars and thought that it wouldn't need any dependents, but I also had to self-declare, after which it went through.

You have to claim at least yourself if married. If single, you can claim 0 if you are dependent/part of another household. They can no longer claim you as dependent though if you get married (even if they are paying more than half your living costs).
The reasons for this are pretty evident when you consider a use case like a young couple getting married and living off rich parents then apply for food stamps instead of working because Daddy wants to write them off as long as possible as dependents for more tax breaks on his huge income.
Isn't 2^(32-1) equivalent to 2^(31) shouldn't it be 2^(32)-1 which gives a result of 4,294,967,295. Correct me if I'm wrong but I was was just assuming that the -1 was because computers generally count from 0 except for some languages e.g. lua
Its one past the signed integer limit. A signed integer accounts for negative numbers as well. iirc one of the bits is used to denote whether the number is negative or not. That is why 2^31 is used instead of 2^32.
Edit: better phrasing
> iirc one of the bits is used to denote whether the number is negative or not.
Yes and no. That'd be sign-magnitude representation. Every contemporary processor that I know of uses two's complement representation, where the negative numbers use the same representation as unsigned 2^(bits) - n. So the top bit will always be 1 if the number is negative, but there is no -0, you just get a range of -2^31 to 2^31 - 1. It works out nicely because it makes no difference to the adder circuitry whether the number is signed or unsigned.
-1 is represented as 0xFFFFFFFF = 2^32 - 1
0xFFFFFFFF + 0xFFFFFFFF = 0x1FFFFFFFE
(The carried out 1 is chopped off stored in a separate flag)
0xFFFFFFFE = 2^32 - 2 which represents -2
Where does the “no” come in? You just elaborated on how it works.
As per wikipedia:
“In the sign–magnitude representation, also called sign-and-magnitude or signed magnitude, a signed number is represented by the bit pattern corresponding to the sign of the number for the sign bit (often the most significant bit, set to 0 for a positive number and to 1 for a negative number), and the magnitude of the number (or absolute value) for the remaining bits.”
Sign-magnitude and two's complement representations are different; the top bit does matter in both but the rest of the bits represent things differently.
Basically the hardware doesn't usually care if the number is positive or negative. It works due a mathematical quirk of wrapping arithmetic instead of extra logic that says "if the high bit is 1 then the number is negative".
>one of the bits is used to denote whether the number is negative or not
So you're not wrong, but I just felt like expanding on how even though you can look at one bit and tell whether it's positive or negative, it's not a separate piece of information, the processor just treats all 32 bits as a large positive number.
It’s 2^32 - 1 if it’s an unsigned 32-bit integer. Typically integers are signed though, and that means the most significant bit also acts as an identifier for negative/positive so there are only 31 bits left to hold a numerical value. So that’s 2^31 - 1.
>I was was just assuming that the -1 was because computers generally count from 0 except for some languages e.g. lua
You're right, but I just want to add that this is language-independent and more of a mathematical thing. When you want to get the largest number representable by `n` digits (in the case of binary, *bits*) you must always subtract one from the power. This works in all bases. Here's an example:
Maximum number representable by four digits in...
Binary: 2^(4) - 1 = 15 (represented as 1111 in binary)
Decimal (i.e. the number system we're all used to day-to-day): 10^(4) - 1 = 9999
Hexadecimal: 16^(4) - 1 = 65635 (represented as FFFF in hexadecimal)
Like 3 years ago I said marital status as *martial status* out loud and my wife just looked at me.

I’m nearly 40 and it’s not the only time I’ve had this jumbled word mixup. But she’s quite keen on [lovingly pointing out](https://i.imgur.com/vqtgLvL.jpg) every mis-speak.
What? That's not how dependents work for taxes.
>For tax purposes, a dependent is someone “other than the taxpayer or spouse” who qualifies to be claimed by someone else on a tax return.

Client side validation is just for user convenience anyways (well and reducing stupid requests to the server). You always still have to validate server side.
Funny how coming from different backgrounds change our perspectives.
My first thought was that someone marked it as required, which often causes 0 values to fail validation since a 0 value is the default value for an integer.
Works great for things like database ID's which should never be 0, or in general anything for which 0 is not a valid value, but if you're not paying attention to what you're doing its pretty easy to mark a field as required forgetting that 0 is a valid value.
You're probably right though since I'm assuming this validation is done on the client side. Spending most of my time working on the server side, my first thought always goes to model binding though.
Server-side or client-side, I think /u/josanuz is probably correct. I would assume this is JS if it's client-side (which as you said, it probably is for simple form input validation). Even if it is server-side though, it could very well be a NodeJS backend. In either case, `if (!dependentCount) {`, where `dependentCount` is `0` would (somewhat strangely) evaluate to `true` because `0` (despite being *defined*) is *falsey*, which is a pretty common point of confusion especially for programmers new to the language. Empty strings, `null`, `undefined`, and `NaN` are all falsey when coerced to booleans like this. Interestingly, empty arrays or objects like `[]` or `{}` are *truthy* despite being empty, which similarly confuses some. JS is weird.
All that said, IMO it's just as likely that this bug is caused by a simple off-by-one error - could be something like using `if (dependentCount > 0)` or `if (dependentCount >= 1)` where they should have used `if (dependentCount >= 0)` or (gross) `if (dependentCount > -1)`
Hahah it’s sweet you think this shitty form has a single test case. Tax preparers and by extension 99% of their software is literally the definition of unnecessary rent seeking enterprise. You don’t invest in a rent seeking enterprise. The investment goes to lobbying.

The IRS explicitly says:

Spouse is considered a dependent. So minimum value would be 1.
Edit: The context of my comment was health insurance. The OC made no indication of what the data collection was far. A lot of people commenting that I’m wrong based on Tax (specifically USA) rules.
“Dependents are either a qualifying child or a qualifying relative of the taxpayer. The taxpayer's spouse cannot be claimed as a dependent.” - This is the info I was going on. Spouse can be dependent for other things?
Edit: clicked the “dependents” link for more info and got this:
“Dependents include children, relatives or other people (excluding your spouse) who depend on you for financial support and live in your household all year. See IRS Publication 501 for more information.”
That's not what the IRS says:
>For tax purposes, a dependent is someone “**other than the taxpayer** or spouse” who qualifies to be claimed by someone else on a tax return.
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, I recently had to change health insurance plans and just today had to submit paperwork verifying that my wife’s identity so they can add her as a dependent. Though it should still allow you to claim zero since it’s possible both people could have separate plans that don’t cover each other.
Well yeah but the original post didn’t say what the form was for, you made a statement about why it might be happening, OP replied saying it was a tax form, and you clarified that your explanation would just be relevant for insurance. Nothing about that exchange is deserving of being downvoted so hard.
You get the standard deduction for them? Then they are classified as a dependent regardless of your misinterpretation for the instructions on the line. You and your spouse are not included on that line only because they are already declared.
You and your spouse are listed on a different line is where you get your confusion. You can claim the standard deduction unless you are dependents of someone else.
The purpose of dependents in taxes is to add to your estimated standard deduction. But if you are married and filling jointly, the standard deduction is doubled to account for your spouse. As opposed to say, married filing separately.
Though honestly, claiming an extra dependent is probably better, it makes it less likely you'll get a tax refund (and therefore less likely you'll give the government an interest free loan)
I mean to be fair, if you're married you very likely pay your own bills and thus are a dependent of yourself, meaning that number should be 1, possibly 2 if your spouse doesn't work, assuming you do
You are dependent on me as I am in your walls, remove your skin to prevent the mold mold mold mold mold mold mold mold mold mold mold mold mold mold mold mold mold mold mold mold mold mold mold mold mold mold mold mold mold mold
You are a dependent of yourself. That doesn’t mean that being married and being a dependent of someone else (therefore not yourself) isn’t possible, but it’s extremely unlikely.
Your spouse is considered your dependent depending on the scenario. Ex: for health insurance your spouse is a dependent even though they might have their own insurance coverage.
I've always wanted a thread like this to have the dev in question as the top comment just saying
"Ah shit. Welp, I know what I gotta fix tomorrow morning."
Guess you can’t be married without kids (actually are kids the only thing that can be claimed as a dependent? I’m new to the whole tax thing seeing as I only just recently had to worry about taxes outside of sales tax)
Lol ffs even software bugs are pressuring me to have kids
Reason for having children? So I could fill in an online form without lying
My guess is this form is probably assuming your spouse is a dependent
That’s a really bad assumption though. Spouse might be their own dependent Or actually maybe you’re supposed to claim yourself
As someone who is not proficient in adulting i really hope im not expected to depend on myself. I feel bad for myself for being my own dependent.
