What you actually did say was, “ I am not sure if the $500 is due to withholdings or not. I assume it is a tax liability.”.I did not say I paid $500 in income tax. I said I owed $500. Implying an additional $500.PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not say you paid $500 income tax.
Guessing it was more like $10,000+. Thinking you paid $500 is just a worthless statement. I am guessing you were were short $500 from witholding vs actual taxes due in April.
Okay - end of slam. Most Americans think that way. I get it. And if you got $700 back, they think they actually got some sort of windfall.
If you were only off by $500 - that is pretty good.
The $500 was not your tax liability. Your tax liability was likely about $10k. Let’s assume exactly $10K and the $500 represents the portion of that liability not covered by the $9500 withheld by employer.
