I'm actually surprised that many in here are getting money back. Maybe it has to do with being married and having kids?

Yes, that's exactly the case.

If you file as a single person, and you make over $75K, you get nothing back.

If you are married and file jointly, and you make over $150K between the two of you, you get nothing back.

Otherwise, the single person gets $600 and the married couple gets $1200.

So if I were on my own as a single dude, I'd be in the same boat as you. But luckily the wife's lame ass salary keeps us below the $150K mark as a couple.

Each kid gives you another $300 as well. I knew they were good for somethin!
