Yup! | I owe federal tax, why? |
My sister earn a little more than I did and she's getting back little over $1000, and I owe the federal $439 dollars! WTF!!!! I bought a brand new car in 2006 and I included it on the 2007 taxes, if it wasnt for the new car I would of owed the federal last year. I just don't get what I'm doing wrong! HELP!

When you buy a new car, you have to include it on your taxes. No my sister is single with no kids and she is claiming 0 and I am also claiming 0. |

Just because you make roughly the same amount of money does not mean you will get the same refund.
It all depends on deductions, credits and withholdings. |

Also, what is your filing status? Perhaps she is not claiming any dependents on her W-2's, which will result in more tax taken out of her check each week/month/whatever. |

1) You obviously aren't withholding enough. Adjust your W4.
2) What exactly do you mean you deducted your car? Personal vehicles are not deductible. You may want to have a professional re-look at 2006 or you are going to get a nice letter from the IRS in a couple of years. |

No two tax returns (like people) are the same. Did you and your sister have identical incomes, deductions, credits, etc.? |

Well, your post is very vague in the amounts you made, etc...however, I can only assume she claims less dependants through the year or has more with-held to see the refund.
My husband and I always claim Married and 0 on our W-4 and then at tax time, we always get some back.
If your job is a part time job where they don't withhold what they should, that can kill you...so contact your accounting department at your job and see if they're withholding the correct amounts. |

you're probably not getting enough taxes withheld from your paycheck = what did you fill in on your w-4 form? it should only be single 0 or 1 if you're single or you will wind up owing taxes - you sister probably had single 0, you probably have single 2 or something - a car has nothing to do with income taxes - where did you include it? if you had any expense it in 2006, you can't claim it in another year |

You owe simply because you didn't have enough money withheld form your pay to cover your tax liability. That's not a bad thing really, as you did NOT make a large interest-free loan to the government as your sister foolishly did. Look at it this way: You got an extra $30 in your paycheck every week. Now it's time to settle up.
I'm not sure how you figure that buying a car would save you anything on your taxes in 2006 unless you use it for business or if you claimed an itemized deduction for the sales taxes and/or personal property taxes that you paid on it. Excluding business use a car is a personal expense and won't save you any money at tax time. |

You can't claim a car you purchased on your taxes, silly, unless you use it for business and don't get compensated from your employer. |

Looks like your error was in 2006- you can't claim the interest on a car on your taxes. Buying a new car would not have affected your tax liability at all. Have your employer take out about $10.00 a week more & you shouldn't owe next year. If your sister has kids that probably why she gets a refund, more deductions than you. |
