Also, it would be helpful if you told what major deductions you had such as children. If you guys look at all the taxes, I seriously doubt you will average between 10-12 percent like it appears. I would guess the appropriate average should at the very least be in the high teens. I would guess like 25% actually.

Right. Take a look at the 4 posts prior to yours.
