The purpose of this web app is to just get a rough analysis of the taxes you owe. It doesn't cover things like:
-
Alternative Minimum Tax: if you have a high income and take a large number of tax deductions, you may be subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax.
-
Personal Exemptions Phase-out: personal exemptions are reduced with higher incomes, and eventually phased out. This is no longer relevant after 2018, since the tax reform passed in December 2017 eliminated federal personal exemptions.
-
New York State restrictions on itemized deductions for high-income earners.
-
Tax Credits, federal and state.
-
New York State and New York City both offer a variety of credtis, see:
For example, most single NYC residents qulify for the school tax credit (form NYC-210, instructions). Lower incomes make one eligible for a wide variety of credits such as the NYS Household Credit, the NYS earned income credit, the federal EITC, the federal Saver's Credit, etc.
