Hi there,
Thank you for the reply!
So apparently I made a hair over $13,000 with my unemployment benefits. CA doesn't count UI as income, or tax it, correct? So I won't need a tax form for CA or FL? And does that mean I'm above poverty line or still within it?
As far as the federal form, TurboTax automatically chose the standard 12,400 deduction for me. So on the final calculation page, it says "taxable income = 1000" (~13k-12,400). Then it says my tax liability is ~100, but I already paid $1,000+ in taxes (withheld) so I'll end up with an $800+ refund. I'm super confused with why the standard deduction took my taxable income down - is that normal? That always happens?
My taxes until this point were VERY basic, very simple, 1 step W2 situations, so this whole thing is way beyond me.
