[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]% wise we paid more taxes than last year. So using refund$ as whether you pay higher or lower taxes, do not make sense. Take your W-2 gross income. From there total up the taxes paid to state and federal. Then either minus the refund or add the additional taxes you have to pay. From this net amount divide by total income on your W-2. Do this for 2017 and 2018. Comparé the % of taxes to your income. Has it gone up or down? That is a simple calculation of total % of taxes you have paid out of income.[/quote]

That's true but because my salary didn't change and I didn't change my withholdings, the fact that my [b]return[/b] is different is meaningful information.   I will obviously spend some time looking over all the data as well to see whether I paid more or less in taxes overall.[/quote]

I mean refund. [/quote]

Your withholdings probably did change unless you do flat withholdings, though. If you just have a standard W-4 with a set number of exemptions, as most do, then your withholdings went down if you didn't submit a new form. That's based on the withholding tables.[/quote]
