Answer a few simple questions.

Most Americans are required to pay federal income taxes, but the amount you owe depends on a few factors. We’ll use your info to estimate your filing status and taxable income, then answer the question “How much will I get back in taxes?”

Tell us about your income.

Next, we’ll dive a little deeper to see how much you’ve already paid in taxes this year. For many, this is the amount withheld from their paychecks by an employer.

Find out your credits and deductions.

Using your income information, we’ll look for any tax credits that will either impact your refund or the amount you owe, as well as deductions to lower your taxable income.

We’ll calculate the difference on what you owe and what you’ve paid. If you’ve already paid more than what you will owe in taxes, you’ll likely receive a refund. If you paid less, you may owe a balance.
