⚠️ Not Tax Advice
This calculator provides estimates only and does not constitute professional tax, legal, or financial advice. We are not tax professionals, certified public accountants (CPAs), enrolled agents (EAs), or tax attorneys. The information provided is for educational and estimation purposes only.
Estimation Tool Only
Our calculator provides tax estimates based on the information you provide and current tax law. Results are approximations and may not reflect your actual tax liability because:
- We cannot account for all personal tax situations
- Tax law is complex and subject to interpretation

- The timeliness of tax law updates
- The absence of errors or bugs in the calculator
You should always verify results with a qualified tax professional or official IRS resources.
