Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are the tax calculations?
The calculations are estimates based on 2025/2026 IRS tax brackets and standard deductions. While we strive for accuracy, this tool is for planning purposes only and should not replace professional tax advice.
What is 'Income Stacking'?
Income stacking is the method of ordering different income types (Ordinary, Capital Gains, etc.) to optimize how they fill the progressive tax brackets, potentially lowering your overall effective tax rate.
Why can I select 2026 tax year?
The 2026 tax year option allows you to plan for the potential expiration of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions, which may significantly change tax brackets and standard deductions.
