• Answer:

  Yours is a question regarding your 2011 earnings and the information on your W-2 form for 2011. It is really an income tax question. You may not realize it, but your question landed in the Y!A category for Financial Aid for Education. You can take your W-2 form to the state college Human Resources Department and one of the employees there can explain the amounts listed in the boxes on the W-2. No one can give you an answer regarding what you owe in taxes and if the filing information is correct without seeing a copy of the completed form. Only someone who is trusted by you or who is a tax preparation professional (who follows strict professional ethics) should do that for you. An income tax professional will be the best person to answer your question about your income tax return that you filed online. I do hope you printed off a copy of the completed and filed return so you can take the paper copy to a person who prepares income tax returns professionally and can determine if you completed it correctly. You will be charged a fee for a professional income tax preparer to look over your completed copy of your income tax form. To find some free income tax help and answers from a tax preparation professional, you can ask a reference librarian at your local public library for information on locations, dates and times in your area of the free IRS service for people who have low incomes (yours looks like it qualifies.) It is called the VITA program (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program.) This is a link to the IRS web page about the service: * http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=107626,00.html If you do not want to ask at your public library, this is the toll free IRS number to find out locations, dates and times of the service in your area. Be sure to read the information in the link I gave above to learn what ID and information you need to bring with you to the VITA location. Another option: If you are fortunate enough to have a good, trusted friend who has a lot of experience with completing and filing his or her income tax returns (for many years), then he or she may be willing to look over your income tax return for you to make sure it is accurate. I do that for a disabled friend of mine. I only do it because her income tax return is very simple and I've filled out my own income tax returns for over 40 years. She also knows that I won't take advantage of her trust and write down her Social Security Number and use it for identity theft. :-) The only question you have that I can answer is the one about the difference between working for a state college and a private company. There is very little difference except that ultimately you are an employee of the government of the state where you live and work. The state college is a division of the state government budget/funding. Because of that and because you work for an educational institution of the state, your pension fund money that is deducted from your paycheck is in the state Teacher Retirement System pension plan. Those retirement plans tend to be very good. Librarians--Ask Us, We Answer!
