on a tax refund? A friend of mine told me she got $8,000 back last year. She has 2 kids, owns a house, makes under $40,000 a year and she's married but her husband doesn't work so won't file anything with his name on it. I was like wow that's good that she gets so much back.
I have 5 kids my husband works 2 full time jobs, he made a little over $40,000 last year. We only got back about 3,500. My husband carries all 5 of the kids on 1 of his jobs so they don't take alot of taxes out. Why do we get back so little?
Last June we bought a house and I thought that would probably end up getting more money back because of this but when I went to Jackson Hewitt ( where we always go) and explained our situation she told us that we wouldn't even get back 5,000. And that we don't qualify for earned income credit because we're over 38,500 but we could use child tax credit.
Does this sound right? Why do we get back so little?
