Is TaxCaster really free?
Yes! TaxCaster is completely free to download and use. There are no hidden fees, premium versions, or in-app purchases. You get full access to all features at no cost.
How accurate are the tax estimates?
TaxCaster provides estimates based on current tax laws and the information you enter. While generally accurate, these are approximations and should not replace professional tax advice for complex situations.
Do you store my personal tax information?
No, TaxCaster does not permanently store your personal tax data. All calculations are performed locally on your device, and we only collect anonymous usage analytics to improve the app.
What tax situations does TaxCaster support?
TaxCaster handles most common tax scenarios including W-2 income, standard and itemized deductions, dependents, and basic tax credits. For complex situations involving business income or advanced deductions, consult a tax professional.
Can I use TaxCaster for state taxes?
Currently, TaxCaster focuses on federal tax calculations. State tax laws vary significantly, so we recommend checking with your state's tax authority or using their official calculators for state estimates.
Why is the app being removed in October 2025?
Intuit is consolidating tax tools into the main TurboTax platform. While TaxCaster will be discontinued, you can continue using our tax calculator on the TurboTax website for future tax planning needs.
How often are tax laws updated in the app?
We update TaxCaster annually to reflect current tax law changes, standard deduction amounts, tax brackets, and credit limits to ensure accurate calculations.
