<prompt> Human: While filing my taxes Im expected to receive at least 3k, once I put in the second w2 form it brings it down to 500.It just doesnt really make much sense.  <response>: Mid return data is meaningless. When I put in that I make 30k with 2 kids and 6k to my retirement it says Ill get almost 10k back because I qualify for the EITC, Savers credit, and I overpaid all year. My tax liability is like -10 However when I add my wifes income the numbers come back to reality, I no longer qualify for those credits, and our combined income is where we projected it. Basically, in the middle of your return youre ignoring half the available data.
