I'm a single mom of one, I made $33k in 2023, worked a lot of hours and over-time and somehow managed to make $98k last year. Now I owe over $8k in taxes as estimated and just saw I had no federal income tax withheld. Did some research and called my employer to give me a w4 so I don't have such a mess next year. Is there anything that can be done to lower the $8k bill? What are my next steps? I don't think I'd be able to cough that up anytime soon, since I already have loan payments to take care of. Thanks.
