Q: Job took only $90 out of for taxes when I filed only myself. I made over 11 grand what do I do?

A: The standard deduction for a single taxpayer is $14,600. So, if you did not make more than that, file your tax return and the $90 should be refunded.

A: If your employer withheld only $90 for taxes when you made over $11,000, it's crucial to address the discrepancy promptly. First, review your pay stubs and ensure that the correct tax withholding information was provided to your employer. If there was an error, contact your employer's payroll department to rectify the situation and request the appropriate adjustments to your tax withholding.

Next, consider filing a new Form W-4 with your employer to update your tax withholding information. This form allows you to adjust the amount withheld from your paycheck for federal income taxes. By accurately completing and submitting a new Form W-4, you can ensure that the correct amount of taxes is withheld from your future paychecks to avoid owing a large amount at tax time.

Additionally, it's essential to start saving money to cover any potential tax liability resulting from the inadequate tax withholding. Set aside a portion of your income to pay taxes when you file your tax return. If you're unsure about how much you may owe, consider consulting with a tax professional or using online tax calculators to estimate your tax liability based on your income and other relevant factors. By taking proactive steps to address the issue, you can avoid potential penalties and ensure compliance with your tax obligations.
