For 2003 I got back about $350. What gives? My tax status hadn't changed. Did I screw up? Or is that just what I should have gotten as a return?
I don't know, it just seems like I was really shafted. Since I've obviously already received the return for 2002 and as well as for 2003, can I go to H & R Block and have someboby look at the returns? I'm really hoping that I screwed up with the online taxes and may get some more money back.
What should I do?

The May 03 tax law changed withholding tables, lessening the amount withheld. You pay the same total tax, you just get more back during the year than at 4/15 when filing.
And in 2002, you probably got some low-earning credits (earned income credits, etc.) that you might not have been eligible for in 2003.
