I had about $1700 taken out for federal taxes at my job...what should I be expecting back in returns?

I'm not even sure if that's enough info to even answer, i'm kind of retarded when it comes to this stuff. I'm not married, no kids, no dependents or any of that shit. Just a basic tax return.

I just got my number back and it seems wayyyyyy low.

It takes about 15-20 minutes if you have all your information.

SportsAndLady;1085855 wrote:$22,500 + commission is what it amounts to yearly (even though it was hourly wage, technically)...but I only worked there from June 20 to January 20. So I made I think it was 14,000 but I"m not 100% on that.

My tax return is $750

My dad's tax guy did mine for me..and he said this guy is really good; but it just seemed so low for me, I mean it was under 50% of what they took out while I was there.

I claim myself, I paid for freshman year of school and 1 quarter of sophomore year and took loans out for the rest, no charitable donations.

I'm just gonna assume it's right since a tax prof. did it.

hoops23;1085887 wrote:It probably is, but it's never a bad thing to double check... Sites like Turbotax are free and usually are very good at getting you a maximum refund.

I had a tax professional do mine a couple years ago.. Ended up getting about $700 back.. Cross checked with Turbotax and found another $600 worth of tax credits. I've done my taxes with Turbotax ever since...
