Just go to the IRS site and get the 1040 EZ form if all your tax info consists of what you said. \
40,000-9,750=30,250 Taxable Income
10,000-4,109=5,891
40,000-9,750=30,250 Taxable Income
10,000-4,109=5,891

Since He's claiming single with no dependents he wouldn't receive the additional $3800 deduction which leaves him with only the $5950 standard deduction right? Not sure but I think that's right because I file single with no dependents and only receive the $5950 standard deduction.

No, you get to take the $3800. You have been filing wrong unless someone claims you as a dependent.

I'm confused???

Been using turbotax... I think your correct because after looking at my tax refund spreadsheet and I have $9750 factored into my deduction.
ETA: but if his deduction is $9750, his taxes due would be $4099 giving him a refund of $5901 (10000-4099)...

Should have claimed exemptions during the year. A refund that big always means there was a mistake. Ideally you should have a small amount due to the IRS on April 15.

I filed 0. They take out a lot of tax during the year when you do that. That's why I get more back, I paid more throughout the year than if I would have filed 0.

Son, do you realize that the government has had this money to use for a whole year without paying you one red cent in interest ?
Posted on 1/22/13 at 9:17 pm to Batdawg
I'm pretty sure you can go into TurboTax yourself now. Your return is very simple to do.

how does one claim exemptions if they're single and no dependents?

Honestly, I'm surprised that the government still gives out "Refunds"

Fill out a W4 form and give it to your employer. The overpayment is so big bc he filed 0 for whatever reason. As has already been mentioned this results in giving the government an interest free loan.

So what's so wrong with filing zero? I don't care about the government as long as I get my money back.

In that case can I borrow $5000 and pay you back next January?
