Tax Refund?

Yep, it a great system we have here. Of course, if you make millions you can avoid a lot of taxes. Makes no sense if you ask me. I told my husband we should have to pay less taxes because I made less. He just laughed. I guess we'll find out next week. Best Wishes!

I didn't make all that terribly much this year, I started in July. I think I netted about $4000 more or less, and I'm getting nothing back from federal and only $148.00 from state. Not sure that it has anything to do with the more you make the less you get back or not. Using mine as an example, I didn't make all that much and still getting back less.

I only have 1 job i work at and then i had to add in my interest that i made from my car payments so they took out 30 something dollars out of my tax refund but i'm still getting a whole good chunk back over 1,000 dollars worth back so i can't really complain. But yea they take more out of you then you actually earn which is a rip off but can't really complain because atleast you're getting something back. something is better than nothing.

I had the same thing happen with me. I have one main job, that I've worked every day of the past year and made a good amount, and then I worked a little part time job - where I made $3,400 in the entire year. (It's a company that I work for seasonally, data entry, when the work picks up). Even if you claim 0, because you really don't make much money at all there, they don't take out enough state/federal taxes (for me, it was federal taxes they didn't take enough out of). I would've gotten $1100 back from Federal but instead, because I worked that 2nd little part time job, I'm getting like $890 or something - which kinda stinks! I was claiming zero excemptions too. If you plan on having another SMALL job where you only make a couple thousand a year, I would make sure you are claiming ZERO (0) excemptions and even have the person in charge of payroll take out a little extra into a 'tax savings account' if they can. So, I guess we can be thankful that at least we are both still getting money back anyway! And I guess if we decide to have another small part-time job like this, we'd better put away some money on the side so it doesn't hurt as much this time of year!
