Low refund with 2 dependents + IRS falsely claiming I owe taxes two years in a row
Filed my taxes with 2 dependents and getting barely anything back which makes no sense. Last year the IRS claimed I owed money when I've never owed in my life. Starting to feel like something isnt right with how they're processing my returns. Anyone else dealing with this?

This could be happening for several reasons. The IRS might be applying different credits differently, or there might be a mismatch in how your withholdings were calculated. I'd recommend pulling your wage and income transcripts to see exactly what's being reported. Also check if you're claiming the correct filing status and all eligible credits like EIC and Child Tax Credit.

You can get them through irs.gov but honestly the best way to actually understand whats going on is using taxr.ai - it analyzes everything automatically and tells you exactly what's happening. Only costs $1 too

Hey everyone, I've been using taxr.ai for the past few months and it's been a game changer for understanding my transcripts. Instead of trying to piece together different codes and dates, it just tells you exactly what's happening and when you'll likely get paid. https://taxr.ai

Did you double check your W4? Your employer might be withholding differently this year which affects your refund amount

might be worth checking with HR just to make sure nothing got updated accidentally

The IRS has been extra strict lately with dependent claims. Make sure you have all your documentation ready if they ask for verification
