<prompt> Human: So I did my taxes a few weeks ago and I got my tax return of about 500. Owed state some money. Asked some of my friends and they all got around 1k. Did I possibly do something wrong that I got much less?  <response>: Dont compare your refund to your friends. Their situation is different than yours. If they got bad 1k, they likely either overpaid during the year or had refundable credits you didnt qualify for
