Calculate Your Prior Year Tax Refunds with Tax Calculators

The IRS has never been keen on surprises. Know what to expect.

Whether you’re slightly behind on your taxes or up to date and ready to conquer tax season 2017, it’s nice to have a starting point. Taxes are intimidating if you go into it not knowing whether you owe the IRS or can expect a refund. Why not figure that out first?

Information to provide in the calculators

Once you’re on our tax calculator page, it’s pretty straightforward. We provide you with different sections to help navigate. Our tabs include the following:

• Personal Info. This includes your filing status, your age, etc.
• Income Info. This includes wages, investments, business, etc.
• Deductions and Credits. This includes expenses, donations, education, retirement, etc that may qualify you for tax deductions or credits.

 

What if I am missing information?

Of course, the more information on your tax situation that you have handy, the better. However, we know that documents are received at different times and receipts can go missing.

You have the choice to be as specific as you’d like with our calculators. The amount we provide to you is based solely on the information you enter. What’s this mean? Well, if you haven’t yet received your W-2 form, for example, you can estimate that income information within our calculator and we’ll give you a calculation based on your guesstimate. As long as you keep in mind that your amount could change once you enter the exact amount, you’re good to go. Want to know a trick if you don’t have your W-2 yet? Take a look at your last pay stub received. This has most of the information you’ll need to enter or it will give you a pretty good idea of how to guess.

 

Can I collect tax refunds from every prior year?

It’s important to realize that you won’t be able to claim refunds if the tax year you’re filing for is more than the IRS’ statutory of limitations allows. The IRS gives taxpayers three years from the filing deadline for that year to claim a refund. For example, if you’re filing your 2012 tax return in 2017, it is too late to claim your refund. The last date you would have been able to was April 18th, 2016. You should still file so that you are up to date. Since you did not owe any tax, you will not be subject to any IRS penalty fees for filing late.
