If a taxpayer does not have enough taxes withdrawn from her paychecks throughout the year to equal the total tax she is required to pay that year, she will owe the government the remaining balance. on the other hand, if the taxpayer has more money withheld for taxes than she is required to pay that year, she will receive a refund for the difference.

The answer A. "The absolute value of a number gives its distance from zero on the number line."

Step-by-step explanation:

Though 0 - 30 is -30, the DIFFERENCE is |30|.

As the answer says, "its distance from zero on the number line".
