Retirement tax questions

Most people do not receive a refund of all the tax that was withheld. 

 

For example, a single person with $51,496.10 - income and  $6,433.96 - withheld would get back $3358. 

 

You only get back all of your federal tax withheld when your income is less than the standard deduction and your credits.
