HOH w/ 3 dependents - Can I estimate refund using paystubs instead of W2?

I want to figure out my refund amount early but don't have my W2 yet. I do have all my final pay stubs for the year. Filing head of household with 3 dependents. Anyone know how to calculate this or if its even possible?

CP59 Notice Received for 2021 Taxes - IRS Claims No Record Despite Already Receiving Refund

Just checked my account and got a notice saying I didnt file last year but I definitely did and even got my refund. The IRS sent me a letter from the Internal Revenue Service, United States Department of the Treasury in MEMPHIS, TN 37501-1498 with a tracking ID: 101566717987. The date of issue on the letter is 02-03-2022. The letter is addressed to me (KARL A GARC) and references Tax Period: December, 2021 for Return: 1040. The letter specifically states: "On February 02, 2022, we received a request for verification of non-filing of a tax return. As of the date of this letter, we have no record of a processed tax return for the tax period listed above." But this makes no sense because I filed my 2021 taxes and already received my refund! The letter says "If you have any questions, you can call 800-829-1040" but I wanted to check here first. Anyone else dealing with this? Should I be worried? What do I need to do to fix this? Do I need to send them proof that I filed? I don't understand why they're saying they have "no record of a processed tax return" when I definitely filed and got my money back.

Tax Refund Dropped from $5000 to $1100 - Transcript Shows "No Tax Return Filed" Despite IRS Acceptance

My refund dropped dramatically from last year and I'm freaking out. Last year I got over $5000 back but this year I'm only getting $1100. Nothing major changed with my income or deductions that I know of. Looking at my tax account transcript and I'm so confused. BALANCE: 0.00 1 of 1 INTEREST: 0.00 AS OF: Feb. 11 PENALTY: 0.00 AS OF: Feb. 11 ACCOUNT BALANCE PLUS ACCRUALS (this is not a payoff amount): 0.00 ** INFORMATION FROM THE RETURN OR AS ADJUSTED ** EXEMPTIONS: 00 FILING STATUS: Head of Household ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME: TAXABLE INCOME: TAX PER RETURN: SE TAXABLE INCOME TAXPAYER: SE TAXABLE INCOME SPOUSE: TOTAL SELF EMPLOYMENT TAX: RETURN NOT PRESENT FOR THIS ACCOUNT TRANSACTIONS CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION CYCLE DATE No tax return filed This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data What's weird is I filed as Head of Household both years. My transcript says "No tax return filed" but I definitely filed weeks ago and the IRS has accepted it. Could this be why my refund is so different? Or is there something else going on? I've been counting on a refund similar to last year to pay some bills, and this $4000 difference is going to hurt badly. Did anyone else have this happen? What could cause such a big difference when nothing significant changed in my situation?

Married Filing Separately in a Community Property State - Do I Need Spouse's Income After 8 Months Separation?

Been separated from my spouse for 8 months now living in different states. Planning to file taxes separately this year. Getting mixed answers about whether I need to include their income on my return. Anyone know the rules about this? Really dont want to mess this up and get flagged by the IRS. I just started preparing my taxes with a software program, and received this alert that's confusing me: DOUBLE-CHECK / ALERTS Allocation Record - Missing Spouse Information Since you are filing married filing separately in a community property state you are required to report your spouse's allocation of income and payments. Complete the information. Taxable state refunds $ Business income or (loss) $ The software is asking me to input my spouse's information for certain types of income. I didn't realize that being in a community property state would affect my filing status. Does this mean I really do need to know my spouse's income amounts even though we're separated and in different states? What counts as a "community property state" anyway? And how am I supposed to get this information when we've been separated for 8 months with minimal contact? I was planning to just file my own income, but now I'm worried about getting flagged for incomplete information. Does anyone have experience with this situation in a community property state?
