Frequently asked questions
- Does this know my state brackets?
- No. Enter a reasonable effective rate, then verify brackets, deductions, credits, and local taxes with your state.
- Does state tax use federal taxable income?
- Not always. States define their own tax base and adjustments.
- Does it include local tax?
- No. Add local tax separately if your city or county imposes one.
- Can I use it for a paycheck?
- Use it as a rough annual estimate; payroll withholding should use your employer’s state form or calculator.
