Married Filing Jointly w/ 4 kids: $129k combined income - What's our expected refund?

Filing jointly with spouse and 4 dependents. Combined income is 129k (93k + 36k) with total federal withholding of 13.5k (9k + 4.5k). Anyone able to give a rough estimate of what our refund might look like?

Tax pro here. Without knowing all your deductions, credits, and specific situations, it's hard to give an exact number. You might qualify for Child Tax Credit ($2000 per qualifying child under 17). Based on your income level and withholdings, you're likely looking at a decent refund, but you'll need to factor in things like mortgage interest, charitable donations, student loan interest, etc.

Thanks! We do have mortgage interest around 12k and made about 2k in charitable donations

That definitely helps! Those deductions will reduce your taxable income 👍

Hey! I was in a similar situation last year and found this amazing tool called taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and gives you super specific details about your refund amount and timing. It costs $4.99 but saved me so much stress and guesswork. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

Use a tax professional or at least good software. With that many dependents and deductions, you dont wanna mess it up
