Tax Projection

Is there a more accurate way of projecting how much taxes one would owe in a year (or estimating proper federal payroll deductions) instead of taking gross annual income, subtracting the standard deduction then computing based on each bracket?

Planning is the best!

 

We have several tax calculators on our website for forecasting just that thing.  It also depends on how granular you want to go.  

There are a couple of other options.  If you have TurboTax Desktop, there is a "what-if-worksheet" that easily lets you play that game.  Or you can set up a dummy TurboTax Online account and model.  Since forms aren't final, it's all an estimate.  But, these choices should get you better handle on the tax situation.
