Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It's possible that your raise contributed to the reduction in your return. 

 

For example, if you worked full-time (40 hours per week) just 48 weeks out of the year, a dollar raise would equate to an extra $1920 in income (40 hours per week * one dollar per hour * 48 weeks). Other factors, such as tax brackets, credit phaseouts, etc., may also play a part. 

 

If you are looking for a larger refund, you may consider adjusting your withholding here
