Definitely contact the DoE, but honestly, I think you should have someone other than a employee from H&R Block take a look at your W-2's etc. Something ain't right, obviously, if you owe close to 5K.

I'd never go to H&R or any place like that for my taxes. They are not tax professionals, they are random seasonal employees trained to prepare and file taxes that's it. You can do what they are doing yourself for free.
View media item 1823849Turbo tax all the way for me. If I need professional help I'll find a CPA.

I'd look for an accountant w/ a CPA. Maybe ask some of your coworkers who handles their returns.
If you go this route, pay attention and ask the CPA EVERYTHING about how they're handling your return. If you soak it all up, you can go the TurboTax route the next year and do it on your own.

I do my taxes online H&R each year myself, they only get 20 out of my return just for using their system.

Turbo tax is free don't pay these companies. Yeah definitely look into a CPA. I might have to go that route too, because I am renting out a room in my house and need to figure out what I need to do tax wise. Good luck with everything.

Good news: Kid born in October so that I can claim this year 
Bad news: The extra money you 'get back' for having a kid is just a drop in the bucket compared to what it costs to take care of a kid
Everything I get back, though, is going towards paying down my mortgage principle.

Dang , reading up on this thread I just realized that I need to get a payment plan going with DOE/Fed student loans so I don't have any issues next year. Definitely need that return.

So basically if you have student loans during this time you can kiss that check goodbye?

I think if your past due or in default on your loans they can snatch them from your tax returns

Gonna get a fat return this year hopefully
Feds taking $600 per paycheck
All of my Fed return is going towards Credit Card debt, I might take the state return and get something just to feel like I balled out

If you have defaulted , yes they can take your refund check. If you are paying your loans, there are no issues.

Is your current withholding allowance 2? If so what kind of return did you get last year, if not I would bump it up to 2.
I have used turbo tax paycheck and refund calculator to help adjust my witholdings.

yes....they will deduct the amount you owe from the outstanding balance.
