the government sent me a paper saying im going to get $678.00. when i filed my taxes this past feb my income was only $22,000 and i claimed myself as head of household with two dependants. one dependant is 5 and the other is my sister thats 24, but she had no income all year and was a student. i thought head of household got atleast $600 alone. so shouldnt i have got more for the dependants? i thought $300 additional for the dependants. so shouldnt i have got $1200?

just confused how they got that amount. my boyfriend got the same letter and he is getting $600 alone. he made double what i did in income last year.
i actually paid more. i had them take out an additional $15 dollars state and $15 federal.. thats in addition to what they took out already. so i overpaid so i would get a higher check back at the end of the year. one of my dependants is under 17?

my boyfriend made double what i did and got $600? doesnt make sence. he made around $40,000 for the year and got more then i did.. not fair lol..
i paid 1,035.04 in state taxes and 2,844.34 in federal

That answer doesn't make sense. If you made $22,000, you HAD to have paid more than $300 in taxes. She probaly paid that much in 2 months.
