Refund estimate method and limitations

The estimate subtracts the 2026 standard deduction from annual income, applies federal ordinary brackets, subtracts the nonrefundable credit you enter, then compares tax liability with withholding and estimated payments.

Estimated refund or balance = tax liability − federal withholding − estimated payments

It excludes state/local taxes, refundable credits, AMT, itemized-deduction detail and some special deductions. See IRS Publication 505 (2026) and IRS 2026 adjusted tax tables.
