The tax bracket that you are in is just the rate of taxes that would be computed at your income level. The effective tax rate (the rate you actually paid) can be much lower depending on the other details of your return, including your deductions and credits.
To see the effective tax rate of your return if you have already filed:
- Sign
in to your TurboTax Online account
- Select
My TurboTax, View My Tax Timeline
- In
the Some things you can do section, click 'Add a State' (you aren't really
adding a state this is just a way to reopen your return)
After you reopen your return, you should see
print/save my documents icon. Select the icon, and then select
'Print/save/preview this year's return. If you don't see the icon, select My
Account, then Print Center.
From your printing options
drop down box, select All Forms. When the forms populate, scroll down to locate
the state tax return cover sheet. The cover sheet will display your effective tax rate.
