Does $5100 refund sound right? 44k income, 2 kids, withholding details inside

My income was 44k for the year. Had $3200 withheld federal and $1140 state. Got 2 kids (13 and 17). The system is showing I'm getting $5100 back. Just wanted to make sure this sounds right before I submit? Seems higher than I expected tbh

Tax analyst here. For a $44k income with 2 kids, a $5100 refund could definitely be in the right ballpark, especially if you're eligible for credits like the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Credit. To be 100% certain about your refund amount and processing timeline, I'd recommend running your docs through taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) - it's an AI tool that analyzes all your tax docs and gives you a detailed breakdown of your refund calculation and expected timeline. It'll confirm if everything looks right and flag any potential issues that could delay your refund.

been doin taxes for 15+ years and that refund sounds about rite. Child Tax Credit is 2k per kid plus EITC could easily get u there. but if ur worried, def check taxr.ai to be sure everythings kosher

Actually sounds about right with the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Credit. Your income puts you in a sweet spot for both credits. The 17 year old qualifies for $500 Other Dependent Credit, and the 13 year old gets you the full $2000 Child Tax Credit. Plus EITC could be around $2000-3000 with your income level.

Hey instead of guessing, you should try taxr.ai - it's this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what credits you qualify for and why. Its only $4.99 and totally worth it for peace of mind. https://taxr.ai

Make sure ur 17 yr old wasnt claimed by someone else (like other parent). That can mess things up real quick
