Q: Does TaxGhost file my taxes?

No. TaxGhost computes; it does not advise, and it does not file. The year-end report is what you hand a preparer.

TaxGhost watches what you actually owe this year and shows the source behind every figure.

The model

Your tax year in three numbers.

01

What you owe

Projected total federal tax, recomputed on every change.

02

Where you stand

Withholding plus estimates against the safe-harbor line.

03

What to set aside

Cash parked so April is a transfer, not a scramble.

How it works

How the monitor fits your year.

04

Tell it your year

Salary, withholding, a vest or a sale. Two minutes, in your browser.

05

It keeps pace

Each event recomputes the estimate and the safe-harbor position.

06

It taps you when it matters

A vest that pushes you into a new bracket, a safe-harbor gap forming. That is when you hear from it.
