I’m unsure if I was as clear as I should have been but the $5000 owed was based on the second w-2 which is the one that was tax exempt so, would I still owe in money in tax exempt for?
Your question is really unclear.
First, let me mention that you only file one tax return for the whole year that lists all your combined income. You don't file separate returns for each W-2.
Then, if you are preparing your tax return, and you see your refund change drastically after adding a second W-2, that is often normal, and a result of having too little tax withheld from the second job. The W-4 that you file with your employer to set up your withholding is designed for people with one job, and if you have more than one job, or you are married and your spouse works, you have to make adjustments using the worksheets on pages 2-4 of the W-4 form. (This would not apply if your second job was non-taxable difficulty-of-care payments, assuming you entered them correctly.)
So I am not clear on your situation and what you actually did. How did you prepare your first tax return that showed you owed tax of $5000? Why do you now think you are due a refund of $3434? What did you do and what did you change?
I'm also not understanding whether you think you paid $5000 and are now owed a refund of $3434 (meaning your tax should have been $1600), or you think you are now owed a refund of $8434 (the $5000 plus the extra). More information is needed to help understand your situation.
