About ReturnMyTax

Our Mission

ReturnMyTax was created to make tax calculations accessible, accurate, and free for everyone. We believe every taxpayer deserves to understand their tax situation without paying for expensive software or professional consultations just to get a basic estimate.

Important: ReturnMyTax provides educational tax calculators and informational content. We are not a CPA firm, law firm, or licensed tax advisory service. Our calculators produce estimates, not guaranteed results. Always consult a qualified tax professional for advice specific to your situation. See our full disclaimer.

What We Offer

• 20+ Tax Calculators covering federal income tax, paycheck calculations, overtime tax exemptions, tips tax, self-employment tax, capital gains, estate tax, and more
• 50 State Tax Pages with current brackets, rates, and state-specific analysis for every US state plus DC
• Israeli Tax Filing service with Hebrew-language support for Israeli tax returns
• US-Israel Expat Tax Tools for Americans living in Israel, including FEIE and FBAR guidance
• Step-by-Step Guides for first-time filers, freelancers, multiple job holders, and expats

Our Editorial Process

We take accuracy seriously, especially because tax information is a "Your Money or Your Life" (YMYL) topic. Our content development process includes:

• Primary sources only — all tax rates, brackets, and deduction amounts are sourced directly from IRS publications, revenue procedures, and enacted legislation. We never rely on secondary sources for tax data.
• Cross-verification — calculator outputs are cross-checked against official IRS withholding tables, published tax rate schedules, and sample calculations in IRS instructions.
• Regular updates — when tax law changes (such as the 2026 OBBBA provisions), we update all affected calculators and content promptly and note the update date.
• Clear disclaimers — every calculator and guide includes a prominent disclaimer that results are estimates for educational purposes, not tax advice.
• Transparent methodology — we explain how each calculator works so you can understand and verify the math.

Our Team

ReturnMyTax is operated by a team of software engineers and financial technology professionals with experience building personal finance tools. Our calculators are built using official IRS data and verified against published tax tables.

While our team has expertise in building accurate financial tools, we are not licensed CPAs, enrolled agents, or tax attorneys. For personalized tax advice, we always recommend consulting a qualified tax professional. Our tax filing guides provide educational context to help you prepare for that conversation.

Our Methodology & Data Sources

All calculators use official IRS data sources including:

• IRS Publication 15-T (2026 Federal Income Tax Withholding Tables)
• IRS Revenue Procedure 2025-11 (2026 Tax Year Adjustments)
• One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) enacted provisions for 2026
• Individual state Department of Revenue publications for state tax rates
• Social Security Administration published rates and wage base ($176,100 for 2026)

We cross-verify all calculations against official IRS withholding tables and update our tools whenever tax law changes take effect. Each page displays the date of last update.

OBBBA Updates for 2026

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act introduced major changes that all our calculators reflect:

• Tax-free overtime pay for W-2 employees (hours beyond 40/week)
• Tax-free tips for service workers
• SALT deduction cap increased from $10,000 to $40,000
• Senior bonus deduction of $4,000 for taxpayers 65+
• New car loan interest deduction for domestic vehicles
• Updated standard deduction: $16,100 (single), $32,200 (MFJ), $24,150 (HoH)
