Hi... hoping you or someone can confirm what Turbo Tax is telling us for my 19 yr old son's state (Maryland) return.
From his W2, my son earned $25,390 in 2023 (box 1) and he had $1,952 in federal tax withheld (box 2) and $1,860 from state (box 17). Your estimate earlier of $780 was pretty close to what he's getting back but TurboTax is tell us he is getting back only $133 from Maryland. His return is pretty simple and only has ~$25 in interest/dividends. Do you think his Maryland refund is correct or did I do something wrong and should start over?
Also, he is a Welder. Can he claim expenses for his return? or because he is getting the standard deduction, it wouldn't matter if he put in expenses (like a welding helmet for example and other things) unless they were extensive in cost?
Thanks in advance,
Rob S.
