⚠️ 2024 Tax Calculator - Important Notes

Federal-tax focus: The headline number is still your federal income tax.

W-2 vs 1099: W-2 FICA is already withheld, but 1099/self-employed users pay the full 15.3% self-employment tax on top (calculated here).

Complete calculations: Capital gains (0%/15%/20%), EITC, Child & Dependent credits, and other major credits are included.

State limitations: Uses flat statewide averages—actual state returns can be tiered or offer extra credits.

Planning tool only: For filing, use certified software or a tax pro; double-check quarterly estimates if you're 1099.

2024 tax year: Brackets, deductions, and limits are final 2024 numbers for returns due April 2025.
