<prompt> Human: FYI I havent filed yet.I make around 80k, and my tax return appears to be 1.7k. It seems a bit low, is there good chance that I fucked up? My situation is pretty cookie-cutter, with my job as my only source of income, with no investments etc. I double checked and I got a similar number going to do it on paper now. Last year I had a 50k reported income and my return was almost 4k. I dont expect a return that high, but my feeling is that it should be a bit higher.  <response>: a return is the paper you file. a refund is what you would get back from the govt if you overpaid your income tax.
