What do you mean?  Can you explain?  You only get credit for the federal withholding in box 2.  You don't get boxes 4 & 6 back.  State withholding is in box 17.

 

The withholding in box 2 is not the actual tax.   You are taxed on your total income.  And the more total income you make you pay a higher percent for tax.

 

That is common. It just looks that way because you put them in as separate W2s and saw the tax due change in between them. If it was all on one W2 you would get the same result. And each job was withholding like it was your only job.

I earned 12 thousand approximately. 

One of the W2 (the one how have the biggest amount) is about 9 thousand. The tax refound from this W2 is for 6 hundred which is very little amount comparing what I payed every paycheck. 

Example: a friend who payed the same amount of taxes and earned 9 thousand is going to have 1 thousand 5 hundred from taxes refounding. Which es more than the double.

Sorry you have to file all the W2s on the same tax return.    You pay tax on the total income.  Plus there are other credits your friend might qualify for.  As I said above....

 

Yes that is common. It just looks that way because you put them in as separate W2s and saw the tax due change in between them. If it was all on one W2 you would get the same result. And each job was withholding like it was your only job. You are taxed on your total income. The more total income you make you pay a higher percent for tax.


Because you only get one standard deduction no matter how many W2s you enter. Turbo Tax starts out by giving you the Standard Deduction. You entered more income when you entered the second W2 but you didn’t enter more deductions. And each job only withheld taxes like it was our only job for the year. You might want to adjust your withholding. Also as you add more income you might not be getting as many credits as before like the EIC credit.

Yes I understand, but the W2 doesn’t show the amount that it was withholding in my “main” job. That’s what I don’t understand. 
My friend have another job to and this W2 don’t have any amount (like 20 dollars only).

But the most important which have te biggest amount sayed to differents amount between us and we payed the same taxes in the same time. 

I don’t know why they are returning me the middle of what the porcent that they have to look.

I'm sorry I don't understand what you are saying about your W2 not showing.  The total withholding of all the W2s box 2 will be on  your 1040 return line 25a.  Add up all the W2 box 2.  If you think it's wrong then delete the W2 and reenter it.

 

Before filing you can preview the 1040 or print the whole return

Did it start off looking like you were getting a big refund and then did the refund go down when you entered more W-2's?  That is normal.

 

WHY DID MY REFUND GO DOWN WHEN I ADDED ANOTHER W-2?

 

You started off with your first W-2 and your refund looked high?  Then you added another W-2 and it stopped looking so good? That is normal.  When you added more income, your tax liability increased, so you saw your refund decrease.  The program began by giving you your standard deduction—- which lowered your taxable income.  (if you are filing joint it took $27,700 off your income right off the bat)   So you are not being taxed on as much of the income on that first W-2.  Then you added taxable income--so the refund went down. Your refund (or tax due) is based on the total of your income, not “per W-2.”

 

And…adding income may affect other credits you were getting like the earned income credit.

Wait until you have entered ALL of your income and credit/deduction information.  You can't really tell anything until it is all entered.  That “refund monitor” does not mean anything until everything has been entered.
