Reply to comment by countymanTX in Job not with holding enough federal tax. by [deleted]

Your Federal taxable wages would need to be around $98,000 after pre-tax deductions to have $6000 in tax liability with 1 kid. Not sure how you got the numbers you did.

With the marginal tax rate chart.

I suspect the chart you're looking at is based on taxable income, so you'd need to deduct off your standard deduction before using the table. Also, it's not taking into account the child, which wipes away your tax liability.

You need to factor in the standard deduction of $27700, the fact that tax rates are progressive so the remainder of your taxable income is all in the 10% bracket and the CTC reduces your final taxes by $2000.
