Why do I owe taxes and I am the employee were taxes were taken from my paycheck per each payment? I should have a refund in the amount of $407 not the other way around!!

I am not required to pay taxes I do to own the business establishment I am employed with.  Everything stated on each W2 stated that taxes were taken out1 What is going on?

Taxes withheld from your paychecks is estimated to cover your total tax. When you file a tax return, your actual tax is calculated based on your total income. If you had too much withheld, you get a refund; if you didn't have enough withheld, you have a balance due.

 

I suggest you adjust your W4 with your employer so the correct withholding is calculated more accurately.
