Back in 2003 I give birth to my son in December I was able to claim him on my taxes, I did not realize what to claim on my W4. Thankfully the following yr the HR person helped me fill out my W4 yrs later I knew what to do when I had more children! Sadly this yr I missed being able to claim my son on my taxes because he turned 18 but still in high school, turbo tax said I wasn’t able to claim child tax credit so now I had to amend my return. Still waiting in my money!! Hopefully before school starts!!!!

I wish I knew that middle class paid 40% in taxes. If I really thought about that, I would've been more serious about ways to find more deductions in my taxes to keep the money I worked hard for at an earlier time.

Depending on the amount, I plan to save/invest my return.

I wish I knew that I should claim so I don't get a refund. I don't want Uncle Sam using my money for free!

I wish I knew how many dependents to claim between my husband and The total number of allowances because I don’t want to owe at the end of the year at tax season, not even my co-workers knew.
