Answer 1

That depends on whether you itemize or claim standard deduction, whether you work as well, or just your husband, whether you have any other income such as interest or dividend income, whether you have kids, whether the kids qualify for the child tax credit, etc.

Based on your additional information, he should get all of his withholding back, and probably a little bit more, since he would also qualify for the earned income credit. FWIW, he would be better off if you filed jointly, rather than him filing as head of household. Filing married filing joint, the standard deduction would be $10,300, and three personal exemptions would be $9,900. This means his taxable income would be $7,800 ($28,000 - $10,300 - $9,900). Tax liability for taxable income of $7,800 is $783. His earned income credit would be $983 and the child tax credit (assuming your child is under 17) would be $1,000. The child tax credit would wipe out the tax liability (limited to the lesser of your tax liability or the tax credit amount). The earned income credit is a refundable credit, so you would get that back. Since his withholding is $4,000, your refund would be the entire withholding amount, plus the earned income credit, or $4,983.

Answer 2

Since you are married, he is not allowed to claim head of household status. File a joint return, you'll do as well or better than way anyhow.

With income of $28,000 and three exemptions, he should get most of his withholding back. If your daughter is under 17, he should get it all back, and he should also be eligible for something additional as an Earned Income Credit - that could be another $950 or so in addition to getting his withholding back.

Answer 3

Your husband cannot claim Head of Household. Your only options are Married Filing Jointly or Married Filing Separately. In nearly all cases you will pay the least tax filing a joint return.

To know exactly what your refund or balance due will be you will have to prepare your tax return.

Answer 4

if in actuality he was charged 4, 000 too much then you should get at least that back
you have a basic amount that you are not taxed on and then what you are taxed on and if there is a discrepancy thnen you get the rest back too.

Answer 5

you should receive most, if not all, of your tax back.

by the way, if youre married, you must file either "married filing jointly" or "married filing separate." your husband cannot file as "head of household." not to mention its more beneficial to file MFJ.

Answer 6

About all of it.
