Doing my taxes, I got new job half way through year didn't

did you have more dependents on the second job? i did that once to keep more money and mine went down too.

You are actually taxed more for multiple jobs.

This is to disencourage the goy from "hustling" and making more money by working longer hours.

I have no dependents. It is saying I have about
$10,000 of dependent money though?

Your marginal tax rate bumps up from 10% to 15% at $9,275, so if your tax withholding percentage was the same at both jobs, this makes sense.

But like
JOB A: 11,000
JOB B: 9000

So when I put in just job A, I get 1500 back. Then when I enter job B that goes down to 1100.

Shouldn't it fucking go up to closer to $2000 refund?

This shit doesn't make sense.

Well, no because you're getting taxed at 10% on everything below $9,275 and then 15% for everything above that. So say both jobs were withholding 12.5% taxes. For the amount you earn under $9,275, you'd get a refund. For the amount you earn over that amount, you'd owe money. So when you input your second job, you're completely in that threshold where you owe money. I don't know what your tax withholding levels are, but the scenario I gave would conceptually fit your situation.

Actually, now that I think about it, the bigger factor is the personal exemption and standard deduction, which total $10,350 for 2016. This is an amount you can deduct from your taxable income if no one claims you as a dependent. So you had virtually no taxable income when you entered your first job because it was reduced by $10,350. Then when you added your second job, all of that income was taxable.

Adding that money puts you over the EIC limit
