Open Free Tax CalculatorNo — it's a free estimator, not a tax-filing service. Use it to estimate your 2026 federal + state tax liability before tax season, mid-year withholding checks, or comparing job offers across states. To actually file, use TurboTax, IRS Free File (for incomes under $84,000), or any other paid filing software.
For standard W-2 income with the standard deduction, our estimates match TurboTax's pre-filing 'TaxCaster' estimator within a few dollars. We use the same IRS 2026 tax brackets and the same state rate data. We don't model itemized deductions, AMT, capital-gains long-term-vs-short-term distinctions, or state-level credits — TurboTax does all of those during filing.
We have dedicated calculators for 1099 income, gig workers, self-employment, and quarterly estimated taxes at /tools/tax-calculator/1099-tax-calculator and related URLs. They include the 15.3% SE tax, the deductible half, and quarterly safe-harbor calculations.
No. The calculator runs entirely in your browser. We never see, store, or transmit your income, deductions, or state. There's no signup, no SSN field, and no payment info.
