<prompt> Human: I have two jobs. Job one I made 7.50 for part of the year and then got a raise to 9.00. Job two I made 10.00 at. In total I made 20K, 9K from job 1 and 11k from job two. Im doing my taxes on Turbo tax and HR block and when I file my two jobs separately it says I will get back 20 dollars from job 1 and 100 from job 2. But once I file both my jobs together it says I owe 764 dollars. Im filing as a dependent only for my parents sake, they need the deduction, and when I change this to independent I still owed around 400. Again, Im a full time student and I cant really afford to pay this. Why is this happening?Assistant: when I file my two jobs separately it says I will get back 20 dollars from job 1 and 100 from job 2. But once I file both my jobs together it says I owe 764 dollars. But once I file both my jobs together it says I owe 764 dollars.If you file them separately which is tax fraud the standard deduction is applied twice, reducing your overall tax burden. If you file one time and list all of your W-2 income, the standard deduction only applies once. Again, Im a full time student and I cant really afford to pay this. Why is this happening?The fact that you owe just means you didnt withhold enough throughout the year.Human: Why is the deduction applied twice if filed separately?  <response>: Because you are doing two separate tax filings, one for each job. The software sees this as two individual people filing their taxes, and applies the standard deduction to both. You have to list all of your W-2 income on your tax filing.
