Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The blended tax rate is your tax liability divided by your taxable income, so it is possible for there to be large variations year to year.  Your tax liability includes any self-employment, capital gains, and/or special taxes.  The blended tax rate is not used anywhere on your tax return.
