What is the name of your state? UTAH
I am a fulltime student, married with one child. On my 2004 tax return i only grossed around 23k and i get a refund of almost 4k. My 2004 was mostly just W-2 wages from my jobs. This year we're going to make almost the same, 23k, but the majority of this income was from my wife running a licensed daycare out of our home- self employment. I started computing taxes and it looks like we're only going to get a refund of around $1000- how can that be right? Is it possible to have almost the same gross income- especially how low it is- and have that big of a difference in refunds?
