I guess it makes sense. When I flip it around and said she was not a dependent she actually got a small refund. But she has a dependent so it is what it is.
How does TurboTax know the rate though. It seems it's taxing the income at about 25%. Does the software somehow know to go into my return and grab the number? or is that why I had to put in my gross income from line 15? I did not think my rate was 25% though. I guess I should check.
