We all know living with strangers isn’t easy and if you want to improve your relationship with them we wouldn’t recommend what this student tried to do.

BYU Accounting Major, Kruze Ship, tried to apply what he had learned a little too much this past tax season. On his taxes, he claimed all 5 of his roommates as dependents as he believed they were always taking advantage of him and his belongings.

 “They always ate all of my food, I drove them all to campus, they downloaded multiple pirated versions of “Shrek” on my laptop without permission, and I even taught one of them how to drive,” Ship told the Alternate Universe. “When they started using my custom, limited edition Star Wars Mini-Fridge as a bookshelf, I knew I had to take matters into my own hands.”

Ship did first confront the group before he got the IRS involved in their friendship. But after expressing his concerns to the room, the only response came from one of his roommates who told him to “chill the fetch out”.

Kruze Ship is still waiting to hear the IRS’s verdict on whether or not his claim is processed. If approved, Ship could receive an extra $7,000 on his tax return. 

Although the Alternate Universe does not condone stealing tax information from your roommates, we have to respect the grind and hope for the best for this student.
