It is still for the 2019 tax year, however.
Oh. Online only. I was looking for an estimator that can be downloaded, hopefully keeping my personal information only on my computer.
If you are using the Desktop Software there is a What-if worksheet. Go to Forms Mode, click Forms in the upper right (left for Mac). Then click Open Forms box in the top of the column on the left. Open the US listing of forms and towards the bottom find the What-if worksheet. Or you can copy your file with another name and test in the copy. Go to FILE-SAVE AS.
This is my mini version of a tutorial that should be in the downloaded program:
Always remember to shut off the auto update function once you have filed your returns and do not do any updates unless you have safeguarded the PDF & .taxfiles to a removable storage unit for safekeeping.
Forms Mode lets you view and make changes to your tax forms "behind the scenes."
If you're adventurous, you can even prepare your return in Forms Mode, but we don't recommend it. You may miss obscure credits and deductions you qualify for, and you may forget to report things that will come back and haunt you later.
Forms Mode is exclusively available in the TurboTax CD/Download software. It is not available in TurboTax Online.

AND save it as a PDF so you have access to a copy even if you don’t have the program still installed and operational :
AND protect the files :
Thank you. This has been very helpful. I'll give it a try.
My efforts at nested if statements in excel to compute tax in a spreadsheet is a work in progress - very slow progress.
