FAQ
- How is the refund estimated?
- We apply the 2024 standard deduction for your filing status, compute federal income tax on the result, then subtract that from your federal tax withheld. A positive number is a refund; a negative number is a balance due.
- Does this include credits or state taxes?
- No. This is a 2024 federal income tax estimate only. It excludes tax credits, itemized deductions, state and local taxes, and other adjustments, so your actual refund may differ. This is not tax advice.
- Is this an official tax filing tool?
- No. It is a quick estimate to help you plan. For an accurate figure, use IRS resources or a tax professional. This tool does not provide tax advice.
