A few questions...

Hi,

I had a few questions actually...

  • Why is my refund different from last year?  Nothing has changed.  We actually made a little less.
  • Why do I owe so much? Last year paid about 1k and received a 994 refund.  This year we have to pay almost 8K.
  • My state allows us to add rent as a deduction.  Where do I put that on TurboTax?
  • Do I include our timeshare canceled debt?  The form has the amount canceled in the Fair Market Value section.
  • Besides it coming out of my paycheck, I have not contributed anything extra to my 401k.  Do I add what I currently have in my 401K and my husband's Traditional IRA?
  • Are there other deductions I can add to lower what I owe?
