[quote name='Temporaryscars']I'm just going to mail my W2s to my dad so he can do them. I figured i'd get more taxes back since I only made $15,000 this year...[/quote]
Depends on what you claimed. Do you remember what you put on your w-4 or whatever it was?
0, 1, 2 are the most common.
The higher the number, the less the gov't takes out of each check. If you claimed 1 or 2 and only made 15,000, they probably didn't take much out. However, if you try one of the more 'spensive turbo taxes (i forget, it's the one that's 30...), you can itemize, which let's you claim your state taxes as a deduction -- that alone, from what I know, should make itemizing worth a look, even if you don't have anything like mortgage interest, capital gains or losses, etc.
FYI, adjusted gross income = income from W2 #1 + income from W2 #2 + income from W2 #3 + interest earned from any savings or checking accounts. It can be more complicated than that (since you can have things like student loan interest which can bring down your adj. gross income), but that'll usually get her done -- look up the 1040ez form, or go grab one from the library -- it should take like 20 minutes with all your forms and a calculator.
