What this tool does (and doesn’t)
- Planning-grade estimate (not a replacement for filing). Focus areas: deductions, self-employment tax, W-2 interactions, and a reasonable state estimate.
- Best results: enter income + business miles, pick a deduction method (auto/standard/itemized), and add W-2 wages if you had a job.
