Did you choose married for your w4?

You are required to declare all of your tips

I did not and I make so little in cash my company does not give me the opportunity to claim before my w2 is put out.

You can report tips on Line 1 of the 1040

How much was withheld for federal income tax? Box 2 on the w2

I had $2518 withheld

Your tax federal liability should only be about 2309. Seems you may have entered something incorrectly in your 1040 unless you have other income or a premium tax credit you don’t now qualify for or something.

Are you able to explain to me what a 1040 is? I typically have one income and file on H&R Block, so I’m pretty new to taxes.

Edit: I do have another income of $14,053 for the year but I owe because it’s a serving job. I also used to get some money from being a student but not a ton.

1040 is your tax return. Just means tax return. Sorry for the shorthand

(Well it’s the primary document in your tax return anyway)

> Are you able to explain to me what a 1040 is?

The main form you use to file your taxes. H&R block takes the information you put into their software, and fills out a 1040 (among other forms) in order to file your return.

I used H&R block online to estimate my taxes. Any suggestions on a potentially more reliable service to use? Or do I just owe this money now lol

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.

so my total income would be the 47k from both jobs

anything I can do?

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