Reply to comment by CountessAlmaviva in Why do I owe so much in taxes? by CountessAlmaviva

Is your total income $33901 or $47954 ($33901 from spa and $14053 from serving job)?

Your issue probably stems from not filling out the multiple jobs worksheet on your W4s for both jobs. They both think they're your only job so don't start withholding taxes until $12950 (standard deduction) resulting in double counting of the standard deduction.

Update your w4 for next year if you still have two jobs.
