Use your most recent paystub to estimate your W2 information for the year, which you can then use to predict your Federal and State Tax Returns. Taxes are automatically calculated based on your income and any pre-tax deductions you have. If they are not calculating correctly, double check that the deductions you are entering are removed pre-tax from your paystub. If your salary changed mid-year or you began your job in the middle of the year, you will need to adjust the YTD amounts manually. If you make a mistake or change something and your values are not automatically recalculated, reset the values to 0 and then enter your numbers again.

Once you have completed all your entries, click the button for Next Section and you will be taken to the Federal Tax Return section. None of the data you enter is stored by the server, and will be cleared when you leave the page.

Complete all fields relevant to you. If you are unsure, see 1040 Instructions 2016.Your relevant W2 data has been imported. If filing jointly, you will need to adjust these. Figures calculated are estimations only. Line numbers indicate where you would see this field on the 1040.

Once you have completed all your entries and calculated your return, you can adjust your Exemptions on your paystub information above and Recalculate to see how your Federal Return would change.
