So I file my return online and it says I owe the government $91.....
I could get angry and rant and rave about how I worked 3 jobs last year, 6 months of which I spent working 75hrs/week 13days on 1 day off. How I didn't spend a single moment on unemployment after 6 years in the military even though I qualified for the maximum ammount and could have spent my first six months as a civlian living reaonably comfortable off the government till. But that's not me, infact I started my new career while on teminal leave (paid vacation) in the military. Fuck I'm such a boyscout that I declared the $17 in interest my checking account earned!
So I was looking through my W-2's and one of them was for a delivery resteraunt I worked for for a few months for federal minimum wage
Funny thing was I made $3092 and they only with held $17 for federal income tax. That's about .5% The other two W-2's took around 10% each. Funny thing was all of my W-4's were filled out in the same manner.
I've never owed before and I'm pretty sure it's that W-2 that caused it but I don't understand why they'd do that. I honeslty never though to look at how much they were taking for taxes because I know what I put on the W-4 and was confident I wold be safe.
Can someone shed some light on this?
