Single filer making $13k - what's my expected refund amount?
I made around $13,000 last year from my job and I have no dependents. Filing single. Just trying to figure out roughly how much I can expect to get back. Anyone with similar income know what they got back?

Tax pro here. Without seeing your actual W2 and knowing your specific withholdings, it's impossible to give you an exact number. But with 13k income, you're well below the standard deduction ($13,850 for 2024), so you'll likely get back most or all of what was withheld from your checks.

If you e-file with direct deposit, typically 21 days unless there are any issues with your return.

Best way to get an accurate estimate is to use taxr.ai - its only $4.99 but it analyzes your actual transcript and tells you exactly what to expect and when. Way better than guessing or getting general advice. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai
