With the baby on the way, this is likely the last tax tip I’ll roll out for some time. I thought I’d take the opportunity to roundup several of my favorite online tax tools and guides to help you this tax season:
TurboTax TaxCaster – Forecast your tax payment or refund using TurboTax’s TaxCaster. If you’ve got all your W-2s, 1099s, and a rough estimate of your itemized deductions, you can use this forecasting tool to predict roughly what you’d pay or have refunded when you file. This is a great tool for those of us who are having to pay taxes this year. With this estimate, you can adjust your spending to ensure you have enough saved for the payment.
Tax Calculator by H&R Block – Very similar to the TurboTax calculator. Haven’t used it though. Let me know how it works for you.
