exactly how do tax refunds work?

848 views

I’ve only recently joined the working force, and I am still not sure of this entire concept.

I know I am supposed to go to an accountant and show him a slip from my job for the returns, and also slips from my stocks that show all the net changes.

What I don’t understand is \*why\* I receive a certain amount after doing all of that.

Tax refunds are the amount of taxes you overpaid and you are having them send that amount back to you.

You try to guess each year how much you will owe in taxes and try to have that much taken out in instalments. At the end of the year you figure out if you got it right. If you didn’t send enough then you owe the IRS money . If you sent to much then the IRS owes you money and you get a refund for that difference
