We have 4 kids and we got back 4818, but due to a debt we got back 1292. However usually lower your yearly income, the more taxes you get. The yearly income puts you in tax brackets. Like we use to get 10000-8000, but that’s because in 2018 he just started his job. with in a year he has went full tome, got a couple raises. So we went from 30000 a year to almost 60000 a year. Now sense he’s moving companies here in 2020, he is getting another raise. Which will put us higher, and maybe hopefully with the 5th kid we won’t have to pay taxes. Cross our fingers. But usually it’s your year income that puts you in a bracket. I’m speaking from being the person who went from 10000 to 4000, but like my husband says, ” feels better to make it threw the year, then trying to push bills until taxes. ” Cause we have been there too. Not fun.
