Or upload your W-2 here! We can then provide feedback.

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?
