Standard deduction giving me HUGE refund
Good morning 🌞
I am faced with what I see as advice to take a HUGE handout on turbo tax; I generally itemize my deductions, and that has given me a modest return. This year, turbo tax has calculated that I take the standard deduction, where I will then get over $18k back. I'm alarmed at this; I feel this would subject me to an immediate audit, and don't think I should take it. I will not see this again, as next year my filing will change to single as I will be divorcing before the year's end. What would this mean for me to have this kind of income listed for this past year, when I will be facing everything on my own next year? Seriously HUGE alarm bells ringing for me on this kind of handout....
