RJW - para 1 - I fully understand that. That's why it's called Progressive taxation in some circles. TT should have the ability to calculate each of these income catagories, and put that into a final summary so everyone can understand their final Tax Bracket (or 2023 Tax Rate Schedule, same thing). All the figures and algorithms are already built into TT. Why can't you guys get behind me on this, and ask Intuit to calculate it, and put that into the top summary page? If we do not know where we all stand on the Tax Rate Schedule, then how the heck are we supposed to do any kind of Tax Planning??
Para 2 - 2023 Federal Tax Rate Chart (my jargon) = "Taxable Income Tax Rate" - your jargon.
Para 3 - Yes, it shouldn't be this hard - For Intuit, that is, to calculate our Final Tax Bracket. It has nothing to do with Congress...the tax laws and proper algorithms are all built and programmed into TurbuTax. You know that. Mine s/b between 10-12%...It's got to be 11.xx%. But nowhere is that figure called out anywhere on the TT summary page, as it should be. What the heck good is "Effective Tax Rate" figure on TT, if it's meaningless and does not match up to the current year Tax Bracket Schedules, posted all over the Internet?
Para 4 - If your a Champion, that also means you should be championing for users like me that are trying to get Intuit to improve their product, so we know our Tax Bracket level is. I can' think of anything more important than knowing your final Taxable Income that can be matched up into the proper Tax Bracket schedule. Are you willing to do that?
Thanks again.
