Get your taxes done using TurboTax

No problems anywhere..  

There are something like 7 different ways that taxes are calculated.  The tax tables are used only for the simplest tax returns.

 

IF you have Qualified Dividends on a 1099-DIV (box 1b), or any capital gains on a -DIV forms (box 2a)  or any other long term capital gains, then the tables are not used directly...because a lot of those dividends or capital gains are taxed at rates lower than the tables.
