How to Plan Using Tax Tools?
Before you make decisions on how to finance important purchases (e.g., car or home purchases, home mortgage refinancing, student loan applications), use one of the free tax calculator and estimating tools. The eFile.com tax calculator is based on the IRS 1040 federal income tax forms, making it applicable to users of all these forms. The Form 1040 is the first page of a federal tax return.
The tax calculator looks like a regular IRS income tax form and lets you enter your actual or estimated income, dependent(s), tax deduction(s), and tax credit information. There is no need to enter sensitive, personal information such as your name or Social Security number.

Tax Return Calculators and Refund Estimates
When you prepare your taxes with eFile.com, the eFile app will guide you through a simple tax interview and help you get the most out of your return.
Find tax calculators and other information by tax year below to prepare for current, future, or past tax years. Use these to plan for future tax returns or prepare a past tax return. File a previous year return to reduce or pay off and tax penalties you may have accrued.
Note: The remaining calculators, brackets, and forms are here for information purposes as you can no longer file or e-file and claim a refund for them. If you owe taxes for these years, you will want to file as soon as possible. You can amend a return, and claim a refund if there has been less than 3 years since the due date of the tax return. If 3 years have passed, you will not receive a refund even if you were owed one. Even if three years have passed, file an amended return as soon as possible if you haven't already. Tax Years 2014 and earlier do not have calculators, but have a collection of forms and tax rates.
Overdue Tax Returns
The remaining tax years have since expired and you can no longer claim refunds for them. If you owe taxes, file your return as soon as possible; use the resources to estimate and file your previous year return.
