<tease>How accurate is the Tax Estimator?</tease>
<reveal>
<p>Money uses the same basic calculations as IRS Form 1040. However, the tax code is very complex and not all situations can be dealt with in an estimator. For example, Money does not calculate the alternative minimum tax (AMT) or any credits, which could have a significant impact on your liability. If you owe self-employment tax, you must calculate and enter it yourself. Also, the Tax Estimator uses the transactions you enter in Money. The more carefully you enter all your transactions and assign the correct tax categories to them, the more useful the Tax Estimator will be. Consult your tax professional for more information.</p>
