I just filed my taxes with turbo tax and I owe the Federal and State a combined total of $6,500. I feel like this is this super high because my documented income is only $40,000. I didn't even include my tips or else I would of owed over $13,000. My return was accepted by both the IRS and California. Should I go somewhere else to refile my taxes? Or does paying $6,500 in taxes seem reasonable on an income of $40,000? I'm a student and put down my total deductions as $13,000. My coworker said she knows a tax guy who specializes in independent contractors, but he charges $250 and I don't want to waste any more time and money if my return is not going to be significantly lowered. Thank you!
