I am single with no dependents. My gross was 51,757 with 8,600 federal tax withheld. Can someone tell me approximately how much I will get back?

You can go online and use the Turbo Tax free online version and figure out your taxes. You only pay when you actually file through them. This way you can see which is the best way to go, i.e. standard deduction or itemize deductions.

You need to do your taxes, are you doing the short form or long form, do you have any business deductions do you own a home,

Come on, if it was that easy we would not need the IRS to confuse it.

You can use a computer program, hire a tax perparer locally or we have several experts on taxes here that may be able to help you. But you will need to get your taxes prepared to know the final exact answer.
