How can I get an estimate of my refund?

SOLVEDby TurboTax3591Updated 3 weeks ago

If you're an existing TurboTax customer, you can quickly and easily get an estimate of your federal tax refund using the refund calculator in TurboTax Online. This tool also offers personalized tips to improve your refund outcome and avoid tax surprises.

To use the refund calculator:

Note: If your TurboTax navigation looks different from what’s described here, learn more.

  1. Sign in here to TurboTax Online.
  2. Scroll down to Next year's return to see your next estimated federal tax refund.
  3. Update any information based on your life changes (such as starting a new job or getting married) to recalculate the refund number.
    • If you don't have exact answers, we can still give you a ballpark estimate of your refund.
  4. We'll use the information you enter and your information from the previous tax year to calculate your approximate federal refund amount.

You can also estimate your refund at any time with TaxCaster, whether you're a new or returning TurboTax customer.
