I'm 56 years old single no children totally and permanently disabled since 2012 lost my home so I have no property credits etc I'm living with a family member my only source of income is social security I have federal and state tax taken out of mys social security payments as a precaution and I took out a partial early distribution from my ira for medical and living expenses and I had taxes deducted from my distribution I've read that if your disabled your social security is not subject to tax and I've read mixed answers about the early distribution I use the turbo tax free file program and in my opinion there should be some type of instructions you can go to if the questions are unclear to you but there does not seem to be one my question is should I receive all of the tax deducted from my social security and the federal tax I had deducted out of my early distribution refunded. I've gone thru the free file and I'm getting some of the federal and state tax refunded but not all of it is there something I could be doing wrong in the program? for the distribution code I used 3 which is disabled but I'm still only getting back around 1/3 of what the tax I had deducted. I am getting back about the same amount that I did last year when I had the same circumstances I took out a partial distribution and only income is social security and had taxes deducted before I received the payments........another note I'm not able to itemize deductions I fill it all out but the program comes out saying that the 12000 deduction gives me a better refund because my deductions are not high enough. Thank you for any insight you can provide I cant afford to pay to have my taxes done
