Do you want to get an estimate of how much your tax refund will be before you file? We just updated the 2012 tax calculator, complete with all of the tax brackets, credits, deductions, and everything else you’ll need to estimate your tax refund before the tax deadline.
2012 Tax Calculator
The 2012 tax calculator works based on the following inputs:
- Enter your filing status, income, deductions and credits.
- Enter your projected withholdings from your W4 (or your total withholding on your W2 if you have it) for the year to estimate your tax refund for April 2013.
- Select calculate to use the 2012 calculator to estimate your 2012 taxes.
- Select view report to see the entire tax calculator report.
Tax Calculator Inputs
Please note that this calculator uses 2012 tax tables. All of the tax parameters and definitions used to build the free tax calculator are based on the current tax laws, including the payroll tax cut and upcoming Flexible Spending Account changes. If you are looking for the tax calculator for last year, please see the 2011 Tax Calculator.
As a reminder for the 2012 tax calculator, the outputs will be based on your tax calculator inputs. Don’t forget to include things like your Roth conversion from 2010 if you chose to spread the taxes on your Roth conversion over two years.
AMT Tax Calculator
The tax calculator also includes the AMT exemption amounts; there is not a separate AMT tax calculator. The calculator also includes 2012 tax scenarios for capital gains tax rates.
2012 Tax Returns
I work on projecting our taxes with the tax calculator throughout the year. The 2012 tax calculator is much easier than my old manual spreadsheet!
