Living in Los Angeles, since 2022 I worked a bunch of jobs, 1099 apps and temp gigs agencies. No health insurance either. I made like 28k from the 1099 apps doing catering work and about 2-3k from W-2 agencies that didn't withhold any tax. 2023, I wasn't doing financially well so I didn't pay or filed taxes.
I did file a few days ago. Federal for 2022 ended up 6.3k. State tax 1.8k. I filed my 2023 taxes hoping for a return since I did very little 1099. I worked on-call banquet server for a bunch of hotels. Started making some decent money.
So yeah I did my 2023 just to realize again I will owe because they didn't keep as much tax out even though I did my W-4 correctly. I owe about 2.7k for Federal and 2.4k for State tax for 2023.
Not sure how I will pay all of that. I made 50k for 2022 and 60k for 2023 but that's barely any good in Los Angeles. I work 2 jobs so I guess I have to continue working 12-15 hours a day to contribute one of my paychecks to taxes. I was so hoping to quit the second job since I don't make much. With having to pay so much tax, I wish I entered school and not having to work non-stop random gigs.
My coworkers had refunds or had to pay very little back. I guess since they live with their families, they don't have to work as many jobs and complicate things.
