TaxCaster Calculates Tax Brackets and Rates For You
Part of the magic comes from this apps ability to merge all your income data with the federal tax brackets along with your federal withholding paid for the tax year to determine your federal tax obligation. However your federal tax rate is actually a variable of all tax rates up to your last dollar earned as each tax rate portion is added together from each tax bracket that income falls within to give you your overall taxes due or refund amount.
As your income increases into each higher tax bracket, that portion of income falling within the next tax bracket is taxed at that higher tax bracket rate. It is then added to the previous tax calculations from the lower tax brackets to determine overall tax liability.
To recap: you are applying different tax rates to each income portion falling within each tax bracket then adding this total together to determine what your tax liability will be. Sounds confusing doesn't it? well TurboTax TaxCaster handles all that for you so trying to understand it is a mute point, just let TaxCaster do the work!
