<prompt> Human: Her total income was about 22k. Based on my military income and our two kids, turbotax says we should get about 8100-ish back. Once we add her 22k of income from her Etsy shop, our refund to around 1300. Is this right? I cant see her being charged over 30 for taxes. For the record, were stationed in California, but our home of record is in Florida where weve filed for all our previous tax refunds. Can anyone shed some light on this?  <response>: You should consult a CPA, but chances are you need to itemize deductions like cost of whatever items went into the things she sold, office space, Internet access, phone plan, shipping boxes, padding, labels, etc. There is a plethora of stuff, and it might be different depending on where you live and what she sold. You might even be able to deduct the cost of a CPA as a business expense, although it would go on next years taxes I believe.
