Estimate your federal income tax for the year you choose, with an optional flat state rate, compared with what you have had withheld.
How this calculator works
The estimate starts with your income, subtracts pre-tax contributions to reach adjusted gross income, then takes the larger of the standard deduction or your itemized deductions. It applies the federal tax brackets for the year you choose, the extra deduction for people 65 and older, and the child tax credit. Comparing the result with what you have had withheld shows whether you are headed for a refund or a balance due.
