Based on the information you have given, your adjusted gross income (AGI) was $27,298. Your taxable income (TXI) would be $14,198,
AGI... 27,298
Minus standard deduction... (7,000)
Minus 2 exemptions... (6,100)
... --------
TXI... 14,198
The tax on $14,198 for 2003 was $1,626. You had a $600 child tax credit and $382 in earned income credit.
Tax before credits... 1,626
Less CTC... (600)
Less EIC... (382)
... ------
Tax due... 644
My original calculation of you tax before credits was off by a bit. It appears that your tax is correct.
As to Bush's statement, either you read something into it or a politician lied. What are the chances of that?
It appears that you're not having enough tax withheld to cover your liability. It might get worse before it gets better. If your daughter turned 17 in 2004, you can't take the child tax credit. If she is attending college or an accredited trade school, look into the Hope credit.
