Man im kinda mad..i thought i would be getting at least $2k+ back this year because im filing my son for the first time. But im not. I made like 47k last year but they only took out about 3k for federal( because i was switching my dependent s for a lil) it said ill only get back around $1500 for fed and nothing back for state. Im thankful im at least getting that back instead of owing like last year..
but i was hoping for more because i finally get to claim a kid. But this year im not fukking with the dependants im claiming 0 the entire year so i could get a lil more back next year.
Are there any loopholes or deductibles i can put on there to boost my shyt up a lil

i file my own taxes instead of giving them people 2 to 300 to file, so i dont know if theres anything else i can do to finessse a couple more hundred up out em.
