<prompt> Human: When my husband submitted our taxes, he forgot to include my W2. So, when we got the return, we obviously went to resubmit it. We originally got 1500 for our return but now we OWE 300 with my W2 included. Why would our return go down? What are the consequences for not revising our taxes with my information so we dont owe the money?  <response>: The return went down because you didnt withhold enough in comparison to how much you made, requiring you to pay the difference when you file.Deliberately not including the W-2 because you dont want to pay taxes is tax fraud. Dont do it.
