<prompt> Human: Recently I helped a friend with her taxes as she was unsure why she owed money to the IRS. Without getting into detail, is it reasonable to assume that making 72k in California with no dependents warrant approx 2k fed and 1k state? I wrote off approx 5k in various areas of her return.This was competed on TurboTax mind you. The odd thing was that when she got to file and pay section the fed tax due showed a 0 amount owed.Confused. Wheres my resident accountants?!  <response>: It depends entirely on her tax situation and how much with withheld Without going into detail its impossible to offer any advice.
