Terms of use

These desks prepare a draft individual Form 1040 for tax year 2026. They do not prepare Form 1120-S or Form 1065. S-corporation and partnership figures are a simplified pass-through onto the owner’s return and are labeled as such.

The federal calculation uses published 2026 inflation adjustments from Rev. Proc. 2025-32 where those figures exist. Lines marked provisional are estimates pending final instructions. The refund meter is not a guarantee and not a filed return.

E-file in this build is a mock transmitter. It stores an acknowledgement that says the return was not sent to the IRS. Paying a tier, signing the Form 8879-style screen, or seeing “accepted” does not mean the IRS has the return.

Simple federal W-2 filing is free. Deluxe is $49, self-employed is $99, and expert review is $249. Preparer review is off unless PREPARER_REVIEW is turned on. A red flag, such as an S corp or Form 1095-A, stops and waits in the queue. Pay-from-refund is a preference flag only.

You are responsible for the numbers you confirm. Extracted boxes do not land on the return until you accept them. The assistant will not invent a figure that is not already on the return.
