What was your 2022 Tax Filing Status? *

In order to determine your taxable income for 2022, locate your TAXABLE INCOME on line 15 on IRS Form 1040. When you have located this, please put this amount on the next line and move on to the next question.

If you are unable to locate line 15, please locate line 11 ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME. Based on your filing status above, use the following chart to find your standard deduction.

  • Single: $12,950
  • Head of Household: $19,400
  • Married Filing Jointly or Widowed with Dependent: $25,900
  • Married Filing Separately: $12,950

Complete the following calculation:
Adjusted Gross Income - Standard Deduction = actual taxable income

If this calculation results in a negative number, your actual taxable income is 0. If you are a non-filer, please enter 0 in the box below.
