Sorry to hear the bad news. Re: year over year comparison. If income has not significantly changed then a solution probably lies within taxes withheld. Sometimes it just happens due to changes in withholding tables, so it can sneak up on you. Please compare withholding to a prior year. Another possible answer might be a loss of child tax credits which in prior years happened when a child turned 17. For this year, loss of child tax credit occurs when a child turns 18.
