<prompt> Human: I have w2s from 2 jobs I worked at last year. I am single, and have no kids and dont have anything special going on. I also live in Florida. The rest of the w2 wasnt filled out. When it comes to takes, Im full on retard. Thats why I set up an appointment with hr block tommorow to file it for me. Job 1. Paid 13.50hr for 40hrs per weekJob 2: Pays 10.00 hr for 40hrs a weekAlso with health insurance. I was only covered by Job 2s insurance until may 2017. I was not covered by job 1s insurance until Jan of this year. I recently lost job 1 so I dont have insurance this year. I want to maximize how much I will get this year because money is really tight. Will I get more by filing for only one w-2 or just file with both?I also wanted to note that my SO made 1500 from his last years taxes and he made less than me.  <response>: Without any other details and just assuming single not a dependent... no IRA, no HSA, no student loan interest deduction, no tax credits...income 15828 6588 22416 from W-2 box 1deductionexemption 6350 4050 10400taxable income 22416 10400 12016income tax 9325 10 2691 15 1336Tax table might give 1338 as tax because it uses range 12000-12050 and gives tax as if your taxable income were 12025, the midpoint.I will presume you have no tax credits to claim.
