Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Total Tax on line 16 of Form 1040 includes tax other than the income tax.

 

It includes taxes from Schedule 2, like self employment tax.

 

TurboTax divides your total tax from line 12b, by your total income, line 7b, to get the effective tax rate.

 

This figure is just informational, it does not appear on your tax return or affect the amount of tax that you pay.
