Why I built this
Tax software is a black box. You enter numbers, it spits out a result, and you have no idea if the math is correct. I wanted to create something where:
Every calculation cites its legal authority
The community can audit and fix errors
Anyone can verify the math against IRS publications
What it covers
Federal: 2025 income tax brackets, capital gains (0%/15%/20%), self-employment tax, NIIT, QBI deduction, AMT
State: 16 state PTET programs (NY, CA, NJ, CT, TX, etc.), CA Mental Health Tax, TX Margin Tax
Specialized: Crypto tax, real estate professional status, international tax (FEIE, FTC, FBAR)
2025 OBBBA updates: New $40k SALT cap, tips/overtime deductions, updated child tax credit
What I need help with
Verify calculations - Are the formulas correct?
Find edge cases - AMT interactions, phase-outs, etc.
Improve citations - Did I cite the correct IRC sections?
