With SSN and DOB please, that’s the only way we can tell you if you got the right refund

All else equal you should receive $0 and pay $0 when filing. Some may say the more you owe the better because a free loan from the government is better than giving the government a free loan. Your refund is dependent on wage income, interest income, capital gains, filing status, credits, deductions, dependents, and dozens of other factors.

I always have to pay rather than get a refund and that makes me feel smart 😜

Yeah you won’t be able to compare against someone else. You could upload your W2 to an online tax program (federal is usually free) and they’ll give you a refund estimate in a few minutes, won’t have to submit it.

Here’s a question you should know the answer to and you should ask your accountant how to achieve: what is the optimal refund amount?

Without looking, I was recently offered a role at another company for about 30% more salary and 10x the amount of stock options, but I have only been at my current employer for less than a year and feel really guilty about leaving so soon into my tenure. My current employer might match salary, but there's no chance the options get matched.

I'm wondering if I should take the new position, even after less than a year at my company? I can't shake my guilt even though it seems like a no-brainer.
