<prompt> Human: Im just curious about this.My mother makes around 45,000 dollars a year. They take close to 300 dollars in taxes from each check. She owns a house and also had two of her grandchildren living with her for the year, so she is claiming them. Shes only getting 3,000 dollars back.Where as a friend at work makes WAY more than she does, also owns a house and claimed one child. This friend is getting back 10,000 dollars.What exactly is happening here? Why isnt my mother getting more back? Just seems weird to me that she isnt getting significantly more back just from from claiming the kids alone.  <response>: What matters here is withholding. Without comparing that between the two people everything youve stated is meaningless.
