Honest about limits
If your return needs a form this tool doesn't handle, it says so plainly instead of guessing at a number.
How it works
- 01
Answer a dozen questions
Filing status, a W-2 or two, and the handful of income lines that apply to you.
- 02
See the whole calculation
Income, adjustments, deductions, taxable income, tax, and payments — every line visible, nothing hidden behind a total.
- 03
Print it and keep it
A clean summary you can print for your records or hand to whoever prepares your return.
Built for straightforward returns
Most people have one job and a savings account. This covers that return properly rather than pretending to cover every return badly.
What it covers
- W-2 wages and federal withholding
- Taxable interest
- Unemployment compensation
- Tips and overtime pay
- Children and other dependents
- Age 65+ and blindness additions
What it doesn't
- Self-employment and 1099-NEC income
- Capital gains and dividends
- Itemized deductions
- Rental, retirement, or other income
If one of these applies, you'll see a clear explanation instead of a result.
