Summer Analyst Tax Return

I know there are a few threads about similar topics but most of them are from around 2010/2011-ish so I wanted to do a more current poll. I Interned this past summer (NY for state reference) and was wondering if anyone who just started their first year could offer some context for how much to expect in tax returns this upcoming spring. Pay was prorated 85k (~17k gross) and had around 5.5k withheld.

I feel 85k is pretty standard across all BB divisions and top PE so whether you worked IBD, S&T, PE, etc. all feedback is appreciated.

Lastly, was fortunate enough to earn a FT offer and 10k signing bonus should be coming before year end. I'm expecting to see around 5.5k of that when it hits but not sure exactly how that impacts the returns next spring.

Tax withholding by the company is usually done on the assumption that you are earning the full $85,000. If your annual income is less than $85k, and you are in a lower bracket you can expect a tax refund.

Of course this depends on any other income, interest, dividends you may have earned.

If you are not a NY resident, you need to pay State tax in your resident jurisdiction (if any) and claim a credit for the amount of NY tax paid.
