User Reviews for TaxCaster: Tax Calculator

Great Mobile Tax Calculator, I Just Wish I Could See My State Tax Estimate As Well.

This app has definitely helped me with estimating my federal tax refund. My only wish with this tax estimator is to give the user the ability to see their state tax estimate in addition to seeing their federal tax estimate.*Also I’d like to say thank you to the developer for listening to my prior complaint not only fixing the issue, but also responding to me with a message letting me know you guys updated the app with a fix for the issue I was having.

Great app

The app works well. One of the best features is that it saves all of your data so you can go back and update it as your situation changes--for instance, if you make additional charitable donations after you first estimate your taxes.

great to track throughout the year

I love this app. It's super easy to use and helps me track where I might end up tax wise at the end of the year. I still have mine professionally done, but love to get a conservative view of where I am likely to land.

Where’s 2019 TaxCaster?

2018 version good. Will you have. 2019 version anytime soon or do we use the current app?Update: Why not have two entry points for filers? One for 2018 filers on extensions and one for 2019? I’m sure the number of 2019 filers outnumber the 2018 filers working on extensions. Putting out the 2019 calculator in late October doesn’t leave much time to make any adjustments. Thanks for first response.

WAAAAAY off

The app said we would get over 10k back in taxes. I entered the exact same info on their turbo tax service and now it says we only get $500 back!!!Not sure where the discrepancy is, as I have double checked the entries in both systems. My best guess is that they are trying to get it to look like you’ll get a big return so you start to file with their paid service, then find out that it’s not so rosy, but you’ve already entered all the info so you don’t want to go somewhere else to do it again. Very frustrated with their setup/software. We don’t have a complicated tax situation, just 2 w-2s, single family home mortgage, and child care expenses. Don’t trust their numbers. You’ll likely be disappointed.

Missing a crucial part

It doesn’t account for ACA healthcare (Obamacare) and federal discounts received, which was the crucial thing I needed it for. Discounts are granted based off estimated AGI at the start of the year, if your AGI ends up higher at the end of the year, you have to pay back the discount at tax time. And If you are over the amount to qualify, you pay it ALL back and end up owning THOUSANDS of dollars on your tax return. That single aspect can swing your tax refund in a huge way, and it’s not included in this app as far as I can tell. Beyond that, it was easy to use and the interface was pleasant. Just totally inaccurate for our situation.

Not a good start

My husband and I are over 65 and would love to use this tool. However, when it starts by asking for my birthdate by having me backspace 67 years x 12 months = 804 instead of just typing it and I have to start over if I stop for some reason and then ask the same for my spouse, it is just insulting and lazy on the part of the software designer. I wonder what else doesn’t work properly. Why waste my time?

Unusable in Dark Mode

The Dark Mode is the default display mode for most iOS users since the recent updates. The 2019 version of this app is unusable in that mode because all data entry fields are displayed white-on-white; therefore invisible. I had to figure this out and change the display mode to the harsh Light Mode. The fields became magically visible. This should be an easy fix for any developer as soon as they read this review. How they did not catch this bug themselves before release is surprising. How fast they will respond will be an indicator if their professionalism.

Fabulous app

This is an excellent app. I wanted to find out my taxes would be for 2018 vs. 2017. Especially with the new tax reform. It is hard to believe, but it took me less than a few minutes to make the calculations . I highly recommend this app from intuit!

Accurate projection of your tax refund

I used this app last year before I started my taxes, just to see how much I would get back, and it was right on the money! Did it again this year and it's looking just as good. Highly recommended.
