The very first time I did it I entered her 4K of regular earnings and it showed me she was getting back about 130 bucks.
Then I remembered her 1099 g. I didn't remember it prompting me for this so I did a search found the form and filled out the 1099g PUA information the 14,000 UC and 1100 dollars federal tax withheld.
I don't recall exactly what the numbers were at this point. However when it got to the section where it reviews it popped up a form and had me put in my personal 1040 line 15 information.
At that point she went from $130 refund to owing about $2,400 or something.
In another post a kind person told me that since she is a full-time student dependent her total income will be taxed at my marginal rate. I guess my effective rate and my marginal rate are two different things! She put a chart in her post. When I looked for the row for married filing jointly for our 1040 line 15 taxable income it said 22 percent.
So it feels weird she'd have to pay so much tax but I assume the dependency factors in.
I will rerun the numbers tomorrow but I'm feeling a little better about this.... Must someone thinks otherwise.
