To determine what the numbers mean, we need to look at the amounts withheld and the actual federal tax owed:

  • Amount withheld: $3,155.24
  • Amount owed: $2,791.80

Now, we calculate the difference:

$3,155.24 (withheld) - $2,791.80 (owed) = $363.44

Since you had more withheld from your paycheck for federal taxes than you actually owe, this means you will receive a refund. Thus, the correct conclusion is:

You will get $363.44 refund from the government.
