people in the 25% tax bracket are not eligible for the EITC, that is for people making very little, around $15k or less from what i recall.
this is why i don't take tax advice from people working at subway or online frauds like beenthere.
Well, pro tip from sandwich maker...
If you took the itemized deduction rout like you mentioned in a post above the one I'm quoting here, then you fucked yourself royaly.
Taxpayers are entitled to a "standard" deduction, I dont remember how much it is, but it is way more than $50. That is the amount you said you deducted. If you deducted that, you couldn't of taken the standard, you chose itemized and only put one in there with it.
That might explain how you ended up with a tax rate that high, fucking yourself out of the standard deduction, only to capture the infinitely smaller $50 political contribution deduction.
I have no idea what bracket you are in, depends on your pay periods. No way to tell from that stub, if memory serves, if that is a weekly, by weekly or monthly check. No way to tell how much of that year you worked. In other words, no way for me to know what tax bracket you are in and if you are or are not eligible for the EITC, you clearly fail at tax policy if you chose the iteimeized rout with only $50 wort of deductions.
It must suck to have less tax knowledge than a sandwich maker.
