is there a free website to have an idea of tax-return ,without actually filing?

Question

i wanted to know if such website exist, just to compare it when actually filing.

Answer 1

You can use turbotax.com. You only pay if and when you file.

Answer 2

I would use TurboTax.com. First, create a new email account. Log on to TurboTax and select the most expensive online product and register using that account. You can mock up all your return info there. You can even fake info for w-2s, etc. that you haven't gotten yet. You can also do what-if scenarios like "what if I had 1000 dolars extra in income". That is helpful for planning IRA contributions, etc. Then you can decide whether to use turbo tax or someone else. If you use Turbo Tax, you can redo it with your real email account and then choose 1 of the cheaper priced products.

Answer 3

h&r block has a tax calculator. you put in all your info and it gives you an estimate.

i do it every year to anticipate my refund, and it's always pretty accurate.
