Federal tax / API reference
Federal income tax API reference
One HTTP call returns a 2026 federal return: the tax, every Form 1040 line the engine fills, the rule behind each line and the official source of each rule. The engine is documented step by step in the calculation order. Engine version 2.3.2, tax year 2026.
Endpoints: POST /api/federal-tax (licensed) computes a return;
GET /api/federal-tax/rules and /schema (public) describe the steps, the parameters and
the request and response formats. computeFederal on the state API uses this engine for a
state return's federal inputs. Evaluation says how to try it.

| Field | Type | Required | When absent | Meaning | Component or part of another amount | Limits and errors |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
filingStatusalso filing_status | string | no | single | single, mfj or married_filing_jointly, mfs or married_filing_separately, hoh or head_of_household, qss or qualifying_surviving_spouse (any case). A qualifying surviving spouse (§2(a): the spouse died in 2024 or 2025, a dependent child lives with the filer, not remarried; the caller asserts it) files on the joint brackets and standard deduction with the single Social Security base amounts and senior-deduction threshold, and has no spouseAge. How it is used. | The return's filing status: the brackets, the standard deduction, the thresholds. | One of the nine strings, any case; null = absent. Anything else: 400 naming the field. |
age | integer | yes | (none: 400) | The age the filer reaches in 2026 (the age clock: the birth year is 2026 minus age). The §72(t) additional tax applies through the year the filer reaches 59 (with birthMonth, only to the part of the year before 59½); the §63(f) aged amount and the senior deduction from the year the filer reaches 65. How it is used. | The primary filer (the owner of iraDistributions). | Whole number 0 to 120. Absent: 400 "age is required". |
spouseAgealso spouse_age | integer | no | (none: 400 on a joint return) | The spouse's age at the end of 2026, on a joint return: a spouse 65 or older adds the §63(f) married amount and their own senior deduction. How it is used. | Joint returns only. | Whole number 1 to 120. Required when filingStatus is mfj; refused on any other status. |
mfsLivedApartalso mfs_lived_apart | boolean | no | false | true: a separate filer who lived apart from the spouse all year, so the Social Security test uses the single base amounts ($25,000 and $34,000) instead of $0 (Pub 915). How it is used. | Separate returns only. | true or false; null = absent. true on any other status: 400. |
iraDistributionsalso ira_distributions | number | no | 0 | Taxable distributions from traditional IRAs and employer plans (Form 1040 line 4b). The §72(t) additional tax applies to them by the filer's age. How it is used. | Component: added to income once. Does not contain rothConversion. | Finite, from 0 to $100 billion; null = absent. Otherwise 400 naming the field. |
rothConversionalso roth_conversion | number | no | 0 | Amounts converted from a traditional account to a Roth IRA this year: ordinary income on line 4b, never charged the §72(t) additional tax. How it is used. | Component: added to income once. Not part of iraDistributions. | Finite, from 0 to $100 billion; null = absent. Otherwise 400 naming the field. |
pension | number | no | 0 | Taxable pension and annuity income (Form 1040 line 5b), including Railroad Retirement Tier 2. How it is used. | Component: added to income once. | Finite, from 0 to $100 billion; null = absent. Otherwise 400 naming the field. |
otherOrdinaryIncomealso other_ordinary_income | number | no | 0 | Other ordinary income that is not net investment income (Form 1040 line 8). Not interest or dividends: send those as taxableInterest, ordinaryDividends and qualifiedDividends, which the NIIT counts. How it is used. | Component: added to income once. | Finite, from 0 to $100 billion; null = absent. Otherwise 400 naming the field. |
shortTermGainsalso short_term_gains | number | no | 0 | The year's net short-term capital gain, or loss as a negative number (Schedule D line 7). How it is used. | Component; netted against longTermGains. | Finite, from -$100 billion to $100 billion; null = absent. Otherwise 400 naming the field. |
longTermGainsalso long_term_gains | number | no | 0 | The year's net long-term capital gain, or loss as a negative number (Schedule D line 15). How it is used. | Component; netted against shortTermGains. | Finite, from -$100 billion to $100 billion; null = absent. Otherwise 400 naming the field. |
socialSecurityGrossalso social_security_gross | number | no | 0 | Gross Social Security benefits received (with any Railroad Retirement Tier 1), Form 1040 line 6a. The engine computes the taxable part. How it is used. | Gross benefits; the taxable part (line 6b) is computed, not sent. | Finite, from 0 to $100 billion; null = absent. Otherwise 400 naming the field. |
taxExemptInterestalso tax_exempt_interest | number | no | 0 | Tax-exempt interest (Form 1040 line 2a): not taxed, but counted in provisional income for Social Security. How it is used. | Not added to AGI. | Finite, from 0 to $100 billion; null = absent. Otherwise 400 naming the field. |
includeSourcesalso include_sources | boolean | no | true | false leaves rules.sources and rules.unsourced out of the response; the result is the same. How it is used. | Not an engine input: shapes the response only. | true or false; null = true. Anything else: 400. |
birthMonthalso birth_month | integer | no | (none: the whole-year rules) | The filer's birth month (1 to 12). With it, the §72(t) additional tax applies only to the share of the year before 59½ (the month of 59½ counts as before it), the Roth 59½ test uses the same share, and the split-interest QCD 70½ test is exact. Without it the whole-year rules apply: the additional tax through the year the filer reaches 59. With birthDay, a January 1 birthday counts as 65 a year early for the §63(f) aged amount and the senior deduction. How it is used. | The age clock: age is the age reached in 2026, so the birth year is 2026 minus age. | Whole number 1 to 12; null = absent. |
blindCountalso blind_count | integer | no | 0 | How many people on the return are blind at the end of 2026 (§63(f)(2)): the filer, and on a joint return the spouse. Each adds the §63(f) amount to the standard deduction. How it is used. | Joint returns only for 2. | Whole number 0 to 2; 2 needs filingStatus mfj (400 otherwise). |
saltIncomeOrSalesTaxalso salt_income_or_sales_tax | number | no | 0 | State and local income tax, or general sales tax instead (Schedule A line 5a; saltSalesTaxElected says which).

charityCashDafalso charity_cash_daf | number | no | 0 | The part of charityCash given to a donor-advised fund or a supporting organization: deductible when itemizing, not for the non-itemizer deduction. How it is used. | Part of charityCash; cannot exceed it (400). | Finite, from 0 to $100 billion; null = absent. Otherwise 400 naming the field. |
charityCapitalGainPropertyalso charity_capital_gain_property | number | no | 0 | Fair market value of long-term capital-gain property given to public charities (the 30% limit).

otherItemizedalso other_itemized | number | no | 0 | Other itemized deductions (Schedule A line 16), with no floor or cap: send them already limited (gambling losses up to the gambling winnings).

Otherwise 400 naming the field. |
itemizeModealso itemize_mode | string | no | auto | auto (engine 1.5.1) figures the return both ways when Schedule A has amounts and keeps the lower total tax; on a tie (at most half a cent; engine 1.5.2) the larger deduction (Schedule A against the standard deduction plus the non-itemizer charitable deduction); the lines 1040.12e.auto_itemized_tax and auto_standard_tax state both totals. itemize elects Schedule A even when smaller (Schedule A line 18); standard never itemizes. How it is used. | The §63(e) election. | auto, itemize or standard, any case; null = absent. |
mfsSpouseItemizesalso mfs_spouse_itemizes | boolean | no | false | On a separate return: the spouse itemizes, so this filer's standard deduction is zero and the return itemizes (§63(c)(6)(A)). How it is used. | filingStatus mfs only (true on another status: 400). | true or false; null = absent (false). Anything else: 400. |
employerPlanDistributionalso employer_plan_distribution | number | no | 0 | The part of iraDistributions paid by a qualified employer plan (401(k), 403(b), governmental plan), not an IRA: the only dollars the separation-from-service exception covers.

seppDistributionalso sepp_distribution | number | no | 0 | The part of iraDistributions that is an installment of substantially equal periodic payments from an IRA (§72(t)(2)(A)(iv)); its taxable part is excepted. The engine does not compute the payment schedule, and a series paid by an employer plan (excepted only once the employee has separated from service, §72(t)(3)(B)) is not modelled. How it is used. | The IRA part of iraDistributions: at most iraDistributions minus employerPlanDistribution (400 otherwise: an employer-plan series is not modelled). | Finite, from 0 to $100 billion; null = absent. Otherwise 400 naming the field. |
beneficiaryDistributionalso beneficiary_distribution | number | no | 0 | The part of iraDistributions received as a beneficiary of a decedent's IRA or employer plan (an inherited account): never charged the §72(t) 10%, at any age (§72(t)(2)(A)(ii): "made to a beneficiary (or to the estate of the employee) on or after the death of the employee"; Form 5329 exception 04). A distribution from an inherited Roth IRA is not covered: give it as rothDistribution only from the filer's own Roth IRAs. How it is used. | Part of iraDistributions, separate from employerPlanDistribution and seppDistribution: the three together at most iraDistributions (400). Not with iraBasis (400: an inherited IRA's basis is the decedent's, on its own Form 8606, not modelled). | Finite, from 0 to $100 billion; null = absent. Otherwise 400 naming the field. |
disabled | boolean | no | false | The filer is disabled (§72(m)(7)): no §72(t) additional tax, and a Roth distribution can be qualified before 59½. How it is used. | The primary filer. | true or false; null = absent (false). Anything else: 400. |

All amounts are annual US dollars. Keys match in any case. A key that is not in this table is refused with 400: the engine does not model it (see what it does not compute), and a tax that silently left it out would look complete. The check is on keys only: the API cannot know about income, credits or taxes a request leaves out, so the tax is complete only for a household whose whole return is within these fields.

Errors
A request the engine cannot price is a 400 with {"error": "..."}; {n} marks a part taken from the request.
Without a licence key, POST /api/federal-tax is a 403 before the body is read.
| Message | When |
|---|---|
Invalid JSON body | The body is not JSON (or is empty). |
The request body must be a JSON object | The body is JSON but not an object. |
{1} is not a field of the federal tax API: the engine models only the fields listed at https://quantcalc.app/docs/federal-tax/api/ (income it does not model must not be sent as if it were counted) | A key that is not a request field. {1} = the key, as sent. |
{1} is given more than once (as two spellings or two cases of the key) | Two keys name the same field (camelCase and snake_case, or two cases). |
{1} must be a string, one of: {2} | filingStatus is not a string. |
{1} "{2}" is not recognised — use one of: {3} | filingStatus is not one of the accepted values. |
{1} must be a number (annual dollars) | An amount is not a number. |
{1} must be a whole number between {2} and {3} | age or spouseAge is not a whole number in range. |
{1} must be true or false | mfsLivedApart or includeSources is not a boolean. |
{1} is required ({2}) | A required field is absent or null. Only age is required: {2} says why (the filer's age at the end of the year decides the §72(t) additional tax, the §63(f) aged amount and the senior deduction). |
{1} must be a finite number | An amount is not finite (a number too large for a double). |
{1} cannot be negative | An amount other than the gains is below 0. |
{1} is below the engine's range (-$100 billion) | A gain is below -$100 billion. |
{1} is larger than the engine accepts ($100 billion) | An amount is above $100 billion. |
spouseAge applies only to filingStatus mfj (the spouse's §63(f) aged amount and senior deduction are claimed on a joint return) | spouseAge on a status other than mfj. |
spouseAge is required when filingStatus is mfj (the spouse's age at the end of the year decides their §63(f) aged amount and senior deduction) | A joint return without spouseAge. |
mfsLivedApart applies only to filingStatus mfs (Pub 915: a separate filer who lived apart from their spouse all year) | mfsLivedApart: true on a status other than mfs. |
{1} must be an array of at most {2} objects {year, taxable, nontaxable}: year a whole number {3} to {4}, the amounts dollars 0 or more (nontaxable may be left out) | rothConversions is not a list of conversions. |
{1} must be an array of up to 4 dates "YYYY-MM-DD" from 2026-01-01 to 2028-12-31 (null = paid on the installment's due date) | estimatedPaymentDates holds something that is not such a date. |
blindCount 2 needs filingStatus mfj (a spouse's §63(f) amount for blindness is claimed on a joint return) | blindCount 2 on another status. |
mfsSpouseItemizes applies only to filingStatus mfs (§63(c)(6)(A): a separate filer whose spouse itemizes has no standard deduction) | mfsSpouseItemizes true on another status. |
{1} is part of iraDistributions and cannot exceed it | employerPlanDistribution or seppDistribution above iraDistributions. |
employerPlanDistribution and seppDistribution overlap (together above iraDistributions): seppDistribution is the IRA part; periodic payments from an employer plan (§72(t)(3)(B)) are not modelled | employerPlanDistribution + seppDistribution above iraDistributions (beyond the rounding of a sum of cents). |
{1} must be one of: {2} | A typed request (built without the JSON door) whose enum value is not one of the field's values; a JSON request gets "must be a string, one of". |
charityCashDaf is part of charityCash and cannot exceed it | charityCashDaf above charityCash. |
separationYearAge cannot exceed age (it is the age reached in the year the filer left the employer) | separationYearAge above age. |
beneficiarySpouseAge needs spouseSoleBeneficiary true (it only picks the RMD table) | beneficiarySpouseAge without spouseSoleBeneficiary. |
spouseSoleBeneficiary needs iraBalancePriorYearEnd (it picks the table the RMD is figured with) | spouseSoleBeneficiary without a balance. |
spouseSoleBeneficiary cannot apply to a qualifying surviving spouse (there is no spouse) | spouseSoleBeneficiary with filingStatus qss. |
beneficiarySpouseAge is for a spouse who is not on the return: on a joint return the RMD reads spouseAge | beneficiarySpouseAge on a joint return. |
spouseSoleBeneficiary needs beneficiarySpouseAge (the spouse's age reached in 2026) unless filingStatus is mfj | spouseSoleBeneficiary on a non-joint return without beneficiarySpouseAge. |
{1} needs priorYearTax (Form 2210 runs only with last year's tax) | A Form 2210 field without priorYearTax. |
qualifiedDividends is part of ordinaryDividends (Form 1040 line 3a is included in line 3b) and cannot exceed it | qualifiedDividends > ordinaryDividends. |
a capital-loss carryover needs capitalLossRules (it was false) | A carryover with capitalLossRules false (the opt-out). |
birthDay needs birthMonth (the day of the month the filer was born) | birthDay without birthMonth. |
birthDay {1} is not a day of month {2} | birthDay beyond the month's last day (February: 29). |
spouseBirthMonth and spouseBirthDay apply only to filingStatus mfj (the spouse's §63(f) aged amount and senior deduction are claimed on a joint return) | spouseBirthMonth or spouseBirthDay on another status. |
spouseBirthDay needs spouseBirthMonth | spouseBirthDay without spouseBirthMonth. |
spouseBirthDay {1} is not a day of month {2} | spouseBirthDay beyond the month's last day. |
governmental457bDistribution is part of employerPlanDistribution (a governmental 457(b) plan is an employer plan) and cannot exceed it | governmental457bDistribution above employerPlanDistribution. |
beneficiaryDistribution, employerPlanDistribution and seppDistribution are separate parts of iraDistributions (together above it): an inherited account's distributions go in beneficiaryDistribution only | beneficiaryDistribution + employerPlanDistribution + seppDistribution above iraDistributions (beyond the rounding of a sum of cents), beneficiaryDistribution above 0. |
beneficiaryDistribution with iraBasis is not modelled: the decedent's basis in an inherited IRA is figured on its own Form 8606, apart from the beneficiary's own IRAs | beneficiaryDistribution above 0 with iraBasis above 0. |
projection must be an object such as {"year": 2040, "inflation": 0.025} (the tax year to estimate and the inflation to assume) | projection is not an object. |
projection.{1} is not a projection field — allowed: year, inflation, cpiFactor, awiFactor, indexing | A key inside projection that is not one of its fields. |
projection has a field given more than once (as two spellings or two cases) | A projection field sent twice. |
projection.year is required: a whole number, the tax year to estimate (2026 to 2100) | projection.year missing, not a whole number, or outside 2026-2100. |
projection needs exactly one of inflation (the annual CPI assumption, e.g. 0.025) or cpiFactor (your own cumulative CPI factor from 2026 to projection.year) | Neither or both of inflation and cpiFactor. |
projection.{1} must be a number | inflation, cpiFactor or awiFactor not a number. |
projection.indexing must be "law" (the default: each federal amount the way its statute moves it) or "inflation" (the amounts QuantCalc's planner scaled before federal engine 2.0 rise with inflation) | indexing not law or inflation. |
projection.year must be a whole number from 2026 (the rules year) to 2100 | A typed caller's projection.year out of range. |
projection needs exactly one of inflation or cpiFactor, and indexing "law" or "inflation" | A typed caller's projection flags or indexing invalid. |
projection.inflation must be an annual rate between -0.10 and 0.25 (0.025 is 2.5 percent a year) | inflation out of range. |
projection.cpiFactor must be a number between 0.01 and 100 (the cumulative CPI factor from 2026 to projection.year, e.g. 1.44) | cpiFactor out of range. |
projection.cpiFactor must be 1 when projection.year is 2026 (the rules year itself) | cpiFactor other than 1 for 2026. |
projection.awiFactor must be a number between 0.01 and 100 (the national average wage index factor from 2026 to projection.year; absent = the CPI factor) | awiFactor out of range. |
projection.awiFactor must be 1 when projection.year is 2026 (the rules year itself) | awiFactor other than 1 for 2026. |
priorYearTax (Form 2210) cannot be combined with a projection past 2026: the installment due dates and the underpayment interest rates are 2026's; leave the Form 2210 fields out, or leave projection out | priorYearTax with a projection year after 2026. |
projection refused: taxTable true needs the Tax Table's $100,000 ceiling after 2026, which no official source establishes; send taxTable false (the rate schedules), indexing "inflation" (it holds it), or no projection | taxTable true, indexing law, projection year after 2026. |
{1} needs rentalNetIncome or rentalPriorYearUnallowedLoss (it describes the rental real estate) | rentalActiveParticipation or realEstateProfessional without a rental amount. |
realEstateProfessional asserts material participation in the rentals, which includes active participation: rentalActiveParticipation cannot be false with it | realEstateProfessional true with rentalActiveParticipation false. |
{1} applies only to filingStatus mfj (the spouse's own amount on a joint return) | A spouse credit field on a status other than mfj. |
eitcSeparatedSpouse applies only to filingStatus mfs (IRC 32(d)(2): a married filer filing separately who lived apart from the spouse) | eitcSeparatedSpouse on a status other than mfs. |
{1} is for a person under 65 at the end of the year (Schedule R line 11); at 65 the credit for the elderly applies without it | taxableDisabilityIncome (or the spouse's) for a person 65 or older. |
{1} is required with an inherited account ({2}) | An inherited field without inheritedBalancePriorYearEnd, inheritedOwnerBirthYear, inheritedOwnerDeathYear or inheritedBeneficiaryType. |
inheritedOwnerDeathYear {1} is after the tax year {2} (the account is not inherited yet) | A death after the tax year. |
inheritedOwnerBirthYear is after inheritedOwnerDeathYear | The decedent's birth year after the death year. |
inheritedBeneficiaryBirthYear is after the tax year | The beneficiary's birth year after the tax year. |
inheritedOwnerDistributedInDeathYear applies only when the decedent died in the tax year ({1}): it reduces the decedent's own RMD for the year of death | inheritedOwnerDistributedInDeathYear with a death in another year. |
inheritedShortfallCorrected needs inheritedDistribution (the shortfall is the minimum less what was distributed) | inheritedShortfallCorrected without inheritedDistribution. |
inheritedDistribution with iraBasis is not modelled: the decedent's basis in an inherited IRA is figured on its own Form 8606, apart from the beneficiary's own IRAs | inheritedDistribution with iraBasis. |
inheritedOwnerDiedOnOrAfterRbd does not apply to a Roth IRA: its owner has no required beginning date (IRC 408A(c)(4)), so every death is before it | inheritedOwnerDiedOnOrAfterRbd with inheritedAccountType roth. |
inheritedOwnerDiedOnOrAfterRbd {1} contradicts the dates: a decedent born in {2} who died in {3} died {4} the required beginning date (April 1 of the year after the year they reached the applicable age) | The stated side of the required beginning date against what the dates decide. |
inheritedOwnerDiedOnOrAfterRbd is needed: the decedent died in {1}, the year of the required beginning date (April 1, {2}), so the date of death decides | A death in the year of the required beginning date without inheritedOwnerDiedOnOrAfterRbd. |
inheritedOwnerDiedOnOrAfterRbd (or inheritedOwnerBirthMonth) is needed: born in {1}, the decedent's required beginning date was in {2} or {3} | The 70½ rule without a birth month, a death in either year the date can fall in. |
inheritedElection {1} is not open here: tenYearRule is an eligible designated beneficiary's choice when the decedent died after 2019 and before the required beginning date; treatAsOwn is the surviving spouse's | An election the beneficiary cannot make. |
inheritedBeneficiaryType minorChild needs a child under 21 at the death (26 CFR 1.401(a)(9)-4(e)(3)); a child who reached 21 in or before the year of death is a designated beneficiary (or disabled / chronicallyIll) | minorChild with a beneficiary 21 or older in the year of death. |
inheritedBeneficiaryType notMoreThan10YearsYounger needs a beneficiary born no more than 10 years after the decedent | notMoreThan10YearsYounger with a beneficiary born more than 10 years after the decedent. |
inheritedBeneficiaryBirthYear is after the year after the death: a beneficiary is born by then | A beneficiary born more than a year after the death. |
{1} must add up to {2} for the year ({3}; the periods add up to {4}): the amounts received in Jan-Mar, Apr-May, Jun-Aug and Sep-Dec | An <item>ByPeriod whose amounts do not add up to the item. |
{1} needs priorYearTax (the periods are Form 2210's: it runs only with last year's tax) | An <item>ByPeriod field or withholdingByPeriod without priorYearTax. |
withholdingByPeriod must add up to withholding (the federal tax withheld in the year) | withholdingByPeriod and withholding that differ. |
{1} must be an array of up to 4 amounts (dollars{2}), one per installment | A list field that is not up to four amounts in its range ({2}: ", 0 or more" for an amount that cannot be negative). |
%s needs marketplacePremiums (Form 1095-A column A: it describes the marketplace coverage of Form 8962) | A Form 8962 field is sent without marketplacePremiums. |
marketplacePremiums needs marketplaceSlcspPremiums (Form 1095-A column B, the applicable second lowest cost silver plan premium of each month) | marketplacePremiums without marketplaceSlcspPremiums. |
ptcMfsException applies only to filingStatus mfs (26 CFR 1.36B-2(b)(2): a married taxpayer filing separately who is a victim of domestic abuse or spousal abandonment) | ptcMfsException on another filing status. |
ptcEstimatedIncomeException needs advance payments (26 CFR 1.36B-2(b)(6): it applies when the Exchange estimated household income of at least 100% and advance credit payments were made): give marketplaceAdvancePayments | ptcEstimatedIncomeException without advance payments. |
seHealthInsurance with the premium tax credit is not modelled: the deduction and the credit depend on each other (IRC 162(l), 36B; Rev. Proc. 2014-41's iterative or simplified calculation) | seHealthInsurance with marketplacePremiums. |
the premium tax credit is figured for 2026 only: a later year's poverty guidelines and applicable percentages are not published (projection.year %d) | marketplacePremiums with a later projection year. |
%s must be an array of up to 12 monthly amounts (dollars, 0 or more; null = none), January first, as Form 1095-A lines 21-32 report them | A monthly Form 1095-A field is not such an array. |
%s needs %s | A K-1 row is sent without the row it describes. |
estateTrustPassive needs estateTrustIncome or estateTrustPriorYearUnallowedLoss | estateTrustPassive alone. |
spousePartnershipSeEarnings applies only to filingStatus mfj (the spouse's own Schedule SE) | spousePartnershipSeEarnings on another status. |
partnershipSeEarnings needs the partnership income it comes from (k1NonpassiveIncome or k1PassiveIncome): box 14 code A is Schedule SE's, the income itself is Schedule E's | partnershipSeEarnings without K-1 income. |
the trade or business losses (%.2f) exceed the excess business loss threshold (%.0f): the section 461(l) limitation (Form 461) is not modelled | Schedule C and Schedule E Parts II-III, net, lose more than $256,000 ($512,000 joint). |
%s needs nonqualifiedAnnuity (it is a part of that annuity's taxable amount) | A §72(q) exception without nonqualifiedAnnuity. |
nonqualifiedAnnuitySepp, nonqualifiedAnnuityDeath and nonqualifiedAnnuityOtherException are parts of nonqualifiedAnnuity and cannot add up to more than it | The annuity's exceptions add up to more than the annuity. |
%s applies only to filingStatus mfj (the spouse's own Form 5329) | A spouse's Form 5329 row on another status (a QSS return included). |
%s is a part of %s (the excess withdrawn in time) and cannot exceed it | A traditional IRA, Roth IRA or HSA corrective withdrawal over the contributions. |
%s needs %s or %s (the limit the contributions are measured against) | hsaContributions (or the spouse's) without hsaCoverage or hsaLimit. |
%s is a part of %s and cannot exceed it | A Coverdell, Archer MSA or ABLE corrective withdrawal over the contributions, or trumpAccountExcessDistributed over trumpAccountExcess. |
trumpAccountExcessEarnings needs trumpAccountExcessDistributed (Form 5329 Part XI: the earnings of a distributed excess) | Earnings of a distributed excess without a distribution. |
the Trump account rows are the account beneficiary's before the year they turn 18 (Form 5329 Part X, section 530A(h)(5)); from then on the account is a traditional IRA (traditionalIraContributions) | trumpAccountExcess or trumpAccountExcessEarnings with age 18 or more. |
archerMsaContributions needs archerMsaLimit (Form 8853's limit: the smaller of line 3 or line 4) | Archer MSA contributions without their limit. |
the Form 5329 excess-contribution rows are figured for 2026 only: the contribution limits of a later year are not modelled (projection.year %d) | A Form 5329 Parts III-XI row with a projected year. |
{1} needs {2} (the tips are part of that business's income) | selfEmployedQualifiedTips without selfEmploymentIncome (or the spouse's). |
qualifiedTips are the tips received as an employee, part of the wages, and cannot exceed them; tips received in your own business go in selfEmployedQualifiedTips (spouseSelfEmployedQualifiedTips), limited to its net profit (IRC 224(c)) | qualifiedTips above wages + spouseWages (federal engine 2.3.2). |
qualifiedOvertime is part of the wages and self-employment income and cannot exceed them | qualifiedOvertime above the wages plus the positive self-employment income. |
A later tax year: projection
projection asks for a tax year after 2026: {"year": 2040, "inflation": 0.025}
(the factor is (1 + inflation) to the power of the years since 2026) or {"year": 2040, "cpiFactor": 1.41} (your own cumulative
factor), with awiFactor for the wage-indexed amounts (absent: the CPI factor) and indexing: "law", the default,
moves each amount the way its statute does (every amount and its rule); "inflation" is the planner's
convention before federal engine 2.0, the bracket edges, the standard deduction and its age-65 and blindness amounts multiplied by the factor,
unrounded. The ages in the request are the ages reached in that year. A later year has no published Tax Table, so without
taxTable line 16 uses the rate schedules (taxTable in the response says which ran); taxTable: true with
"law" is refused, because the table's ceiling after 2026 is not established by an official source. Form 2210
(priorYearTax) is refused with a later year: its due dates and interest rates are 2026's.
The response keeps taxYear 2026 (the year of the rules) and adds rulesYear, projectedYear,
projected, taxTable and a projection block: every amount the return reads for its filing status with its
2026 and projected values, how it moved (its base year, base amount and index ratio; the amount it is derived from; its scheduled year),
the rules with their statutes and sources (left out with includeSources: false), and what the projection does not do. The same
projection prices the federal side of computeFederal with a projection on the state API.
Worked examples
Each response below is the engine's own output for the request shown, regenerated whenever the engine changes
(scripts/check_federal_tax_api.py fails when a published example differs from what the code returns).
A retired couple, both 65 or older
A joint return: IRA distributions, a pension, Social Security and a long-term gain. Both spouses are 65 or older at the end of the year, so the standard deduction carries two §63(f) amounts and each spouse has a senior deduction; the gain falls in the 0% band.

"Form 4952 investment-interest elections (the Schedule D Tax Worksheet lines 3 to 5 and 8, and the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet's line 3); qualified dividends are taken to meet the holding-period test (more than 60 days in the 121-day period around the ex-dividend date, IRS Pub 550)",
"Credits other than the foreign tax credit, the credit for the elderly or disabled, the saver's credit, the child tax credit and credit for other dependents and the earned income credit: child and dependent care, education, energy and vehicle credits, the adoption credit, the general business credit, the prior-year minimum tax credit (Form 8801); the dependency, relationship, residency, identification-number and student tests of the credits are the caller's assertion; the EIC of a filer with foreign earned income, the Schedule 8812 Puerto Rico rules and nontaxable combat pay",
"Foreign tax credit and AMT limits: foreign income other than passive fund income (the general, section 901(j), treaty and lump-sum categories, foreign 25%/28% gains, Form 2555), interest expense apportionment (Form 1116 lines 4a-4b), foreign tax reductions and the high-tax kickout (lines 12-13), the carryback and reading back a carryover out, the AMT refiguring of capital gains and of Form 4952 (lines 2c and Part III) and the Form 6251 adjustments beyond private-activity-bond interest, incentive stock options and the caller's disposition and other adjustments",
"Adjustments to income (Schedule 1 Part II) other than the deductible part of self-employment tax, the self-employed retirement plan deduction and the self-employed health insurance deduction (lines 15-17); the Schedule 1-A car-loan interest deduction; the tips and overtime deductions' valid-SSN and qualifying-occupation conditions are the caller's assertion",
"Private-foundation gift limits (and their carryover classes), the 0.5% floor on carryovers into 2026 and later as the IRS may read it (the engine applies it to the total, carryovers included), non-cash gifts other than long-term capital-gain property (ordinary-income property and the §170(e) reduction), and the §163(h)(3) mortgage-debt limit (mortgage interest is taken as a deductible amount); casualty and theft losses (Schedule A line 15, Form 4684); other itemized deductions (line 16) are taken as already limited (gambling losses up to winnings)",
"The calculation of substantially equal periodic payments (the installment is an input), the other §72(t)(2) exceptions (first home, medical, birth or adoption, emergency, domestic abuse, terminal illness), the further Form 5329 exceptions (a qualified domestic relations order, health insurance while unemployed, higher education, an IRS levy, reservists, ESOP dividends, federal phased retirement, §414(w) and corrective distributions), the 25-years-of-service alternative to separation at 50, the 25% rate on a SIMPLE IRA distribution in its first 2 years (the engine uses 10%), and first-home or death Roth distributions",
"The §4974(d) reasonable-cause waiver of the missed-RMD excise and the still-working exception for an employer plan; one request carries one excise rate (a shortfall partly corrected and partly not cannot be sent at once)",
"Form 2210's penalty waivers and the farmer and fisherman rules, Part II box E (a joint return in only one of the two years), Schedule AI for estates and trusts, and Schedule AI's period amounts of the items a request cannot split by period (Schedule A amounts, the AMT preference items, the credits' inputs and the rest accrue evenly through the year); the Schedule AI NIIT and Additional Medicare Tax are figured on the annualized amounts (the instructions give no other rule)",
"A qualifying surviving spouse's eligibility (the year of death, the dependent child) is the caller's assertion; the split-interest QCD is an engine function, not a request field",
"A spouse's death on a single return: the capital-loss carryover out is the joint return's; the decedent's share does not pass to the survivor (IRS Pub 550), so the caller enters the survivor's share as next year's carryover (the Monte Carlo planner splits it: spouseCapitalLossShare)",
"The balance due: withholding and estimated payments (read only by Form 2210), refundable credits (the earned income credit, the additional child tax credit, the refundable American opportunity credit, and the other Schedule 3 Part II items; excess social security withheld, Schedule 3 line 11, is reported but not netted), the refund and the amount owed (Form 1040 lines 25 to 37). The engine computes the total tax (line 24) and, on request, the Form 2210 penalty (line 38)",
"Schedule 2 taxes other than the §72(t) additional tax (and, federal engine 2.3, the §72(q) one and Form 5329's 6% and 100% taxes), the §4974 missed-RMD excise and the net investment income tax: household employment taxes, the HSA, Archer MSA and other account additional taxes, credit recaptures, the deferred-compensation (§409A, §457A) and installment-sale interest taxes, and the rest of Schedule 2",
"Form 5329 Part II (the additional tax on Coverdell ESA, QTP and ABLE account distributions), and around Parts III-VIII (federal engine 2.3): the deemed contribution of a prior excess absorbed by this year's unused limit (the IRA Deduction Worksheet, Form 8889 line 13: the engine has no traditional IRA or HSA deduction), Form 8889 itself (the HSA deduction, the 20% on distributions not used for medical expenses), the contributors' Coverdell MAGI limits, the Archer MSA limit and the ABLE-to-work amount (the caller's limits), a spouse's Coverdell ESA, Archer MSA, ABLE or Trump account, the 2025 Trump account excess (0 for 2026) and the excess-contribution limits of a projected year (refused)",
"Royalty income, Schedule E Parts IV-V (REMICs, farm rental), Form 4797 gains, farm income and personal-property rental: no field carries them into the net investment income tax (otherOrdinaryIncome and pension are never net investment income; a nonqualified annuity has its own field; rental real estate has rentalNetIncome, federal engine 2.1; partnerships, S corporations, estates and trusts the K-1 fields, federal engine 2.3)",
"Other Schedule 1 income items with their own rules: the net operating loss deduction, hobby income, §951/§951A inclusions, the §461(l) excess business loss adjustment and digital assets received as ordinary income",
"The foreign earned income and housing exclusions (Form 2555) and the possession exclusions: MAGI is AGI throughout (the senior deduction, the NIIT, the SALT cap), and there is no Foreign Earned Income Tax Worksheet",
"A filer or spouse who can be claimed as someone's dependent (the limited standard deduction), a dual-status alien, the Social Security lump-sum election (Pub 915 worksheets 2 to 4), the Form 8815 savings-bond interest exclusion and the other Pub 915 line 5 exclusions, repayments of benefits, a child's income on the parent's return (Form 8814), lump-sum distribution averaging (Form 4972), the retired public safety officer insurance exclusion and a pension's exclusion ratio for after-tax contributions (the pension field is the taxable amount)",
"The senior deduction's valid-SSN condition is assumed met",
"Form 8606 line 4 (contributions made after the year end) and qualified disaster distributions and repayments (lines 15b, 15c, 25b); the carry-forward basis omits them",
"Planner IRMAA: the MAGI add-backs other than tax-exempt interest (the savings-bond interest exclusion, foreign earned income, possession income), the three-year-old return when the two-year-old one is not available, and a new determination after a life-changing event (Form SSA-44): the planner always uses the MAGI of two years earlier",
"Planner RMDs per owner and per account: employer plans are not figured separately from IRAs, and a spouse's own IRA is distributed on the spouse's age, start age and divisor only when the plan gives the spouse's share of the traditional balance (traditionalBalanceSpouse); otherwise the planner takes one RMD on the household's combined traditional balance at the primary owner's age",
"On Form 8960 Part II: foreign income tax and state or local property taxes attributable to net investment income (line 9b), miscellaneous investment expenses (line 9c), additional modifications (line 10) and the Form 4952 limit (investmentInterest is the deductible amount)",
"§72(q) beyond the 10% and its exceptions (federal engine 2.3): the recapture with interest of a series of substantially equal payments modified before 59½ or within 5 years (§72(q)(3)), the 5% rate on a deferred annuity under a pre-March 1, 1986 election, and a modified endowment contract's additional tax (§72(v)); the annuity's exclusion ratio (nonqualifiedAnnuity is the taxable part)",
"Substantially equal periodic payments from an employer plan, which §72(t)(3)(B) excepts only after the employee separates from service: seppDistribution is the IRA part, and the API refuses a seppDistribution that overlaps employerPlanDistribution",
"Rental real estate beyond Schedule E Part I as one net amount, and Schedule E Parts II-III beyond one net amount per class (federal engine 2.3): royalties, REMICs (Part IV), farm rental (Form 4835), the release of a suspended loss on a disposition (section 469(g)) or at death, the commercial revitalization deduction, the per-activity allocation of the unallowed loss within a class (Form 8582 worksheets: each class is one activity), depreciation (an input inside the net amount) and its recapture, the at-risk rules (Form 6198) and the partner and shareholder basis limits (sections 704(d), 1366(d); Forms 7203/7217: the K-1 amounts are entered after them), the excess business loss limitation of section 461(l) (refused above its threshold), publicly traded partnerships, self-charged interest, the Form 1041 K-1 box 14 code H adjustment of Form 8960 line 7, a net operating loss, the rental real estate safe harbor of the QBI deduction (Rev. Proc. 2019-38), the AMT refiguring of passive losses, and the real estate professional's net investment income safe harbor (Treas. Reg. section 1.1411-4(g)(7)); Form 1116 line 3e takes the positive rental net income as gross income",
"Inherited accounts beyond one account and one beneficiary: several beneficiaries of one account (the oldest's life expectancy, separate accounts) and trusts as beneficiaries (see-through trusts, applicable multi-beneficiary trusts) are the caller's to reduce to one beneficiary type; a successor beneficiary (the beneficiary of a beneficiary who died) and the 10-year limit after an eligible designated beneficiary's death; the surviving spouse's election to be treated as the decedent (SECURE 2.0 section 327), the spouse who dies before distributions begin, and the deemed election to treat the IRA as one's own; the decedent's basis (its own Form 8606) and a nonqualified distribution from an inherited Roth IRA; the 10-year election's deadline; the plan's own terms (a plan may require the 5-year or 10-year rule)",
"Form 8962 beyond Parts I-III for one tax family: the allocation of a policy shared with another tax family (Part IV), the alternative calculation for the year of marriage (Part V), a qualified small employer health reimbursement arrangement, a dependent's own Form 8962, the self-employed health insurance deduction together with the credit (refused), the special enrollment period and eligibility facts (other minimum essential coverage, affordable employer coverage, lawful presence; the caller's assertion), and a premium tax credit in a projected year (refused: the guidelines and percentages are not published)"

"Form 4952 investment-interest elections (the Schedule D Tax Worksheet lines 3 to 5 and 8, and the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet's line 3); qualified dividends are taken to meet the holding-period test (more than 60 days in the 121-day period around the ex-dividend date, IRS Pub 550)",
"Credits other than the foreign tax credit, the credit for the elderly or disabled, the saver's credit, the child tax credit and credit for other dependents and the earned income credit: child and dependent care, education, energy and vehicle credits, the adoption credit, the general business credit, the prior-year minimum tax credit (Form 8801); the dependency, relationship, residency, identification-number and student tests of the credits are the caller's assertion; the EIC of a filer with foreign earned income, the Schedule 8812 Puerto Rico rules and nontaxable combat pay",
"Foreign tax credit and AMT limits: foreign income other than passive fund income (the general, section 901(j), treaty and lump-sum categories, foreign 25%/28% gains, Form 2555), interest expense apportionment (Form 1116 lines 4a-4b), foreign tax reductions and the high-tax kickout (lines 12-13), the carryback and reading back a carryover out, the AMT refiguring of capital gains and of Form 4952 (lines 2c and Part III) and the Form 6251 adjustments beyond private-activity-bond interest, incentive stock options and the caller's disposition and other adjustments",
"Adjustments to income (Schedule 1 Part II) other than the deductible part of self-employment tax, the self-employed retirement plan deduction and the self-employed health insurance deduction (lines 15-17); the Schedule 1-A car-loan interest deduction; the tips and overtime deductions' valid-SSN and qualifying-occupation conditions are the caller's assertion",
"Private-foundation gift limits (and their carryover classes), the 0.5% floor on carryovers into 2026 and later as the IRS may read it (the engine applies it to the total, carryovers included), non-cash gifts other than long-term capital-gain property (ordinary-income property and the §170(e) reduction), and the §163(h)(3) mortgage-debt limit (mortgage interest is taken as a deductible amount); casualty and theft losses (Schedule A line 15, Form 4684); other itemized deductions (line 16) are taken as already limited (gambling losses up to winnings)",
"The calculation of substantially equal periodic payments (the installment is an input), the other §72(t)(2) exceptions (first home, medical, birth or adoption, emergency, domestic abuse, terminal illness), the further Form 5329 exceptions (a qualified domestic relations order, health insurance while unemployed, higher education, an IRS levy, reservists, ESOP dividends, federal phased retirement, §414(w) and corrective distributions), the 25-years-of-service alternative to separation at 50, the 25% rate on a SIMPLE IRA distribution in its first 2 years (the engine uses 10%), and first-home or death Roth distributions",
"The §4974(d) reasonable-cause waiver of the missed-RMD excise and the still-working exception for an employer plan; one request carries one excise rate (a shortfall partly corrected and partly not cannot be sent at once)",
"Form 2210's penalty waivers and the farmer and fisherman rules, Part II box E (a joint return in only one of the two years), Schedule AI for estates and trusts, and Schedule AI's period amounts of the items a request cannot split by period (Schedule A amounts, the AMT preference items, the credits' inputs and the rest accrue evenly through the year); the Schedule AI NIIT and Additional Medicare Tax are figured on the annualized amounts (the instructions give no other rule)",
"A qualifying surviving spouse's eligibility (the year of death, the dependent child) is the caller's assertion; the split-interest QCD is an engine function, not a request field",
"A spouse's death on a single return: the capital-loss carryover out is the joint return's; the decedent's share does not pass to the survivor (IRS Pub 550), so the caller enters the survivor's share as next year's carryover (the Monte Carlo planner splits it: spouseCapitalLossShare)",
"The balance due: withholding and estimated payments (read only by Form 2210), refundable credits (the earned income credit, the additional child tax credit, the refundable American opportunity credit, and the other Schedule 3 Part II items; excess social security withheld, Schedule 3 line 11, is reported but not netted), the refund and the amount owed (Form 1040 lines 25 to 37). The engine computes the total tax (line 24) and, on request, the Form 2210 penalty (line 38)",
"Schedule 2 taxes other than the §72(t) additional tax (and, federal engine 2.3, the §72(q) one and Form 5329's 6% and 100% taxes), the §4974 missed-RMD excise and the net investment income tax: household employment taxes, the HSA, Archer MSA and other account additional taxes, credit recaptures, the deferred-compensation (§409A, §457A) and installment-sale interest taxes, and the rest of Schedule 2",
"Form 5329 Part II (the additional tax on Coverdell ESA, QTP and ABLE account distributions), and around Parts III-VIII (federal engine 2.3): the deemed contribution of a prior excess absorbed by this year's unused limit (the IRA Deduction Worksheet, Form 8889 line 13: the engine has no traditional IRA or HSA deduction), Form 8889 itself (the HSA deduction, the 20% on distributions not used for medical expenses), the contributors' Coverdell MAGI limits, the Archer MSA limit and the ABLE-to-work amount (the caller's limits), a spouse's Coverdell ESA, Archer MSA, ABLE or Trump account, the 2025 Trump account excess (0 for 2026) and the excess-contribution limits of a projected year (refused)",
"Royalty income, Schedule E Parts IV-V (REMICs, farm rental), Form 4797 gains, farm income and personal-property rental: no field carries them into the net investment income tax (otherOrdinaryIncome and pension are never net investment income; a nonqualified annuity has its own field; rental real estate has rentalNetIncome, federal engine 2.1; partnerships, S corporations, estates and trusts the K-1 fields, federal engine 2.3)",

"The foreign earned income and housing exclusions (Form 2555) and the possession exclusions: MAGI is AGI throughout (the senior deduction, the NIIT, the SALT cap), and there is no Foreign Earned Income Tax Worksheet",
"A filer or spouse who can be claimed as someone's dependent (the limited standard deduction), a dual-status alien, the Social Security lump-sum election (Pub 915 worksheets 2 to 4), the Form 8815 savings-bond interest exclusion and the other Pub 915 line 5 exclusions, repayments of benefits, a child's income on the parent's return (Form 8814), lump-sum distribution averaging (Form 4972), the retired public safety officer insurance exclusion and a pension's exclusion ratio for after-tax contributions (the pension field is the taxable amount)",
"The senior deduction's valid-SSN condition is assumed met",
"Form 8606 line 4 (contributions made after the year end) and qualified disaster distributions and repayments (lines 15b, 15c, 25b); the carry-forward basis omits them",
"Planner IRMAA: the MAGI add-backs other than tax-exempt interest (the savings-bond interest exclusion, foreign earned income, possession income), the three-year-old return when the two-year-old one is not available, and a new determination after a life-changing event (Form SSA-44): the planner always uses the MAGI of two years earlier",
"Planner RMDs per owner and per account: employer plans are not figured separately from IRAs, and a spouse's own IRA is distributed on the spouse's age, start age and divisor only when the plan gives the spouse's share of the traditional balance (traditionalBalanceSpouse); otherwise the planner takes one RMD on the household's combined traditional balance at the primary owner's age",
"On Form 8960 Part II: foreign income tax and state or local property taxes attributable to net investment income (line 9b), miscellaneous investment expenses (line 9c), additional modifications (line 10) and the Form 4952 limit (investmentInterest is the deductible amount)",
"§72(q) beyond the 10% and its exceptions (federal engine 2.3): the recapture with interest of a series of substantially equal payments modified before 59½ or within 5 years (§72(q)(3)), the 5% rate on a deferred annuity under a pre-March 1, 1986 election, and a modified endowment contract's additional tax (§72(v)); the annuity's exclusion ratio (nonqualifiedAnnuity is the taxable part)",
"Substantially equal periodic payments from an employer plan, which §72(t)(3)(B) excepts only after the employee separates from service: seppDistribution is the IRA part, and the API refuses a seppDistribution that overlaps employerPlanDistribution",
"Rental real estate beyond Schedule E Part I as one net amount, and Schedule E Parts II-III beyond one net amount per class (federal engine 2.3): royalties, REMICs (Part IV), farm rental (Form 4835), the release of a suspended loss on a disposition (section 469(g)) or at death, the commercial revitalization deduction, the per-activity allocation of the unallowed loss within a class (Form 8582 worksheets: each class is one activity), depreciation (an input inside the net amount) and its recapture, the at-risk rules (Form 6198) and the partner and shareholder basis limits (sections 704(d), 1366(d); Forms 7203/7217: the K-1 amounts are entered after them), the excess business loss limitation of section 461(l) (refused above its threshold), publicly traded partnerships, self-charged interest, the Form 1041 K-1 box 14 code H adjustment of Form 8960 line 7, a net operating loss, the rental real estate safe harbor of the QBI deduction (Rev. Proc. 2019-38), the AMT refiguring of passive losses, and the real estate professional's net investment income safe harbor (Treas. Reg. section 1.1411-4(g)(7)); Form 1116 line 3e takes the positive rental net income as gross income",
"Inherited accounts beyond one account and one beneficiary: several beneficiaries of one account (the oldest's life expectancy, separate accounts) and trusts as beneficiaries (see-through trusts, applicable multi-beneficiary trusts) are the caller's to reduce to one beneficiary type; a successor beneficiary (the beneficiary of a beneficiary who died) and the 10-year limit after an eligible designated beneficiary's death; the surviving spouse's election to be treated as the decedent (SECURE 2.0 section 327), the spouse who dies before distributions begin, and the deemed election to treat the IRA as one's own; the decedent's basis (its own Form 8606) and a nonqualified distribution from an inherited Roth IRA; the 10-year election's deadline; the plan's own terms (a plan may require the 5-year or 10-year rule)",
"Form 8962 beyond Parts I-III for one tax family: the allocation of a policy shared with another tax family (Part IV), the alternative calculation for the year of marriage (Part V), a qualified small employer health reimbursement arrangement, a dependent's own Form 8962, the self-employed health insurance deduction together with the credit (refused), the special enrollment period and eligibility facts (other minimum essential coverage, affordable employer coverage, lawful presence; the caller's assertion), and a premium tax credit in a projected year (refused: the guidelines and percentages are not published)"

"Credits other than the foreign tax credit, the credit for the elderly or disabled, the saver's credit, the child tax credit and credit for other dependents and the earned income credit: child and dependent care, education, energy and vehicle credits, the adoption credit, the general business credit, the prior-year minimum tax credit (Form 8801); the dependency, relationship, residency, identification-number and student tests of the credits are the caller's assertion; the EIC of a filer with foreign earned income, the Schedule 8812 Puerto Rico rules and nontaxable combat pay",
"Foreign tax credit and AMT limits: foreign income other than passive fund income (the general, section 901(j), treaty and lump-sum categories, foreign 25%/28% gains, Form 2555), interest expense apportionment (Form 1116 lines 4a-4b), foreign tax reductions and the high-tax kickout (lines 12-13), the carryback and reading back a carryover out, the AMT refiguring of capital gains and of Form 4952 (lines 2c and Part III) and the Form 6251 adjustments beyond private-activity-bond interest, incentive stock options and the caller's disposition and other adjustments",
"Adjustments to income (Schedule 1 Part II) other than the deductible part of self-employment tax, the self-employed retirement plan deduction and the self-employed health insurance deduction (lines 15-17); the Schedule 1-A car-loan interest deduction; the tips and overtime deductions' valid-SSN and qualifying-occupation conditions are the caller's assertion",
"Private-foundation gift limits (and their carryover classes), the 0.5% floor on carryovers into 2026 and later as the IRS may read it (the engine applies it to the total, carryovers included), non-cash gifts other than long-term capital-gain property (ordinary-income property and the §170(e) reduction), and the §163(h)(3) mortgage-debt limit (mortgage interest is taken as a deductible amount); casualty and theft losses (Schedule A line 15, Form 4684); other itemized deductions (line 16) are taken as already limited (gambling losses up to winnings)",
"The calculation of substantially equal periodic payments (the installment is an input), the other §72(t)(2) exceptions (first home, medical, birth or adoption, emergency, domestic abuse, terminal illness), the further Form 5329 exceptions (a qualified domestic relations order, health insurance while unemployed, higher education, an IRS levy, reservists, ESOP dividends, federal phased retirement, §414(w) and corrective distributions), the 25-years-of-service alternative to separation at 50, the 25% rate on a SIMPLE IRA distribution in its first 2 years (the engine uses 10%), and first-home or death Roth distributions",
"The §4974(d) reasonable-cause waiver of the missed-RMD excise and the still-working exception for an employer plan; one request carries one excise rate (a shortfall partly corrected and partly not cannot be sent at once)",
"Form 2210's penalty waivers and the farmer and fisherman rules, Part II box E (a joint return in only one of the two years), Schedule AI for estates and trusts, and Schedule AI's period amounts of the items a request cannot split by period (Schedule A amounts, the AMT preference items, the credits' inputs and the rest accrue evenly through the year); the Schedule AI NIIT and Additional Medicare Tax are figured on the annualized amounts (the instructions give no other rule)",
"A qualifying surviving spouse's eligibility (the year of death, the dependent child) is the caller's assertion; the split-interest QCD is an engine function, not a request field",
"A spouse's death on a single return: the capital-loss carryover out is the joint return's; the decedent's share does not pass to the survivor (IRS Pub 550), so the caller enters the survivor's share as next year's carryover (the Monte Carlo planner splits it: spouseCapitalLossShare)",
"The balance due: withholding and estimated payments (read only by Form 2210), refundable credits (the earned income credit, the additional child tax credit, the refundable American opportunity credit, and the other Schedule 3 Part II items; excess social security withheld, Schedule 3 line 11, is reported but not netted), the refund and the amount owed (Form 1040 lines 25 to 37). The engine computes the total tax (line 24) and, on request, the Form 2210 penalty (line 38)",
"Schedule 2 taxes other than the §72(t) additional tax (and, federal engine 2.3, the §72(q) one and Form 5329's 6% and 100% taxes), the §4974 missed-RMD excise and the net investment income tax: household employment taxes, the HSA, Archer MSA and other account additional taxes, credit recaptures, the deferred-compensation (§409A, §457A) and installment-sale interest taxes, and the rest of Schedule 2",
"Form 5329 Part II (the additional tax on Coverdell ESA, QTP and ABLE account distributions), and around Parts III-VIII (federal engine 2.3): the deemed contribution of a prior excess absorbed by this year's unused limit (the IRA Deduction Worksheet, Form 8889 line 13: the engine has no traditional IRA or HSA deduction), Form 8889 itself (the HSA deduction, the 20% on distributions not used for medical expenses), the contributors' Coverdell MAGI limits, the Archer MSA limit and the ABLE-to-work amount (the caller's limits), a spouse's Coverdell ESA, Archer MSA, ABLE or Trump account, the 2025 Trump account excess (0 for 2026) and the excess-contribution limits of a projected year (refused)",
"Royalty income, Schedule E Parts IV-V (REMICs, farm rental), Form 4797 gains, farm income and personal-property rental: no field carries them into the net investment income tax (otherOrdinaryIncome and pension are never net investment income; a nonqualified annuity has its own field; rental real estate has rentalNetIncome, federal engine 2.1; partnerships, S corporations, estates and trusts the K-1 fields, federal engine 2.3)",
"Other Schedule 1 income items with their own rules: the net operating loss deduction, hobby income, §951/§951A inclusions, the §461(l) excess business loss adjustment and digital assets received as ordinary income",
"The foreign earned income and housing exclusions (Form 2555) and the possession exclusions: MAGI is AGI throughout (the senior deduction, the NIIT, the SALT cap), and there is no Foreign Earned Income Tax Worksheet",
"A filer or spouse who can be claimed as someone's dependent (the limited standard deduction), a dual-status alien, the Social Security lump-sum election (Pub 915 worksheets 2 to 4), the Form 8815 savings-bond interest exclusion and the other Pub 915 line 5 exclusions, repayments of benefits, a child's income on the parent's return (Form 8814), lump-sum distribution averaging (Form 4972), the retired public safety officer insurance exclusion and a pension's exclusion ratio for after-tax contributions (the pension field is the taxable amount)",
"The senior deduction's valid-SSN condition is assumed met",
"Form 8606 line 4 (contributions made after the year end) and qualified disaster distributions and repayments (lines 15b, 15c, 25b); the carry-forward basis omits them",
"Planner IRMAA: the MAGI add-backs other than tax-exempt interest (the savings-bond interest exclusion, foreign earned income, possession income), the three-year-old return when the two-year-old one is not available, and a new determination after a life-changing event (Form SSA-44): the planner always uses the MAGI of two years earlier",
"Planner RMDs per owner and per account: employer plans are not figured separately from IRAs, and a spouse's own IRA is distributed on the spouse's age, start age and divisor only when the plan gives the spouse's share of the traditional balance (traditionalBalanceSpouse); otherwise the planner takes one RMD on the household's combined traditional balance at the primary owner's age",
"On Form 8960 Part II: foreign income tax and state or local property taxes attributable to net investment income (line 9b), miscellaneous investment expenses (line 9c), additional modifications (line 10) and the Form 4952 limit (investmentInterest is the deductible amount)",
"§72(q) beyond the 10% and its exceptions (federal engine 2.3): the recapture with interest of a series of substantially equal payments modified before 59½ or within 5 years (§72(q)(3)), the 5% rate on a deferred annuity under a pre-March 1, 1986 election, and a modified endowment contract's additional tax (§72(v)); the annuity's exclusion ratio (nonqualifiedAnnuity is the taxable part)",
"Substantially equal periodic payments from an employer plan, which §72(t)(3)(B) excepts only after the employee separates from service: seppDistribution is the IRA part, and the API refuses a seppDistribution that overlaps employerPlanDistribution",
"Rental real estate beyond Schedule E Part I as one net amount, and Schedule E Parts II-III beyond one net amount per class (federal engine 2.3): royalties, REMICs (Part IV), farm rental (Form 4835), the release of a suspended loss on a disposition (section 469(g)) or at death, the commercial revitalization deduction, the per-activity allocation of the unallowed loss within a class (Form 8582 worksheets: each class is one activity), depreciation (an input inside the net amount) and its recapture, the at-risk rules (Form 6198) and the partner and shareholder basis limits (sections 704(d), 1366(d); Forms 7203/7217: the K-1 amounts are entered after them), the excess business loss limitation of section 461(l) (refused above its threshold), publicly traded partnerships, self-charged interest, the Form 1041 K-1 box 14 code H adjustment of Form 8960 line 7, a net operating loss, the rental real estate safe harbor of the QBI deduction (Rev. Proc. 2019-38), the AMT refiguring of passive losses, and the real estate professional's net investment income safe harbor (Treas. Reg. section 1.1411-4(g)(7)); Form 1116 line 3e takes the positive rental net income as gross income",
"Inherited accounts beyond one account and one beneficiary: several beneficiaries of one account (the oldest's life expectancy, separate accounts) and trusts as beneficiaries (see-through trusts, applicable multi-beneficiary trusts) are the caller's to reduce to one beneficiary type; a successor beneficiary (the beneficiary of a beneficiary who died) and the 10-year limit after an eligible designated beneficiary's death; the surviving spouse's election to be treated as the decedent (SECURE 2.0 section 327), the spouse who dies before distributions begin, and the deemed election to treat the IRA as one's own; the decedent's basis (its own Form 8606) and a nonqualified distribution from an inherited Roth IRA; the 10-year election's deadline; the plan's own terms (a plan may require the 5-year or 10-year rule)",
"Form 8962 beyond Parts I-III for one tax family: the allocation of a policy shared with another tax family (Part IV), the alternative calculation for the year of marriage (Part V), a qualified small employer health reimbursement arrangement, a dependent's own Form 8962, the self-employed health insurance deduction together with the credit (refused), the special enrollment period and eligibility facts (other minimum essential coverage, affordable employer coverage, lawful presence; the caller's assertion), and a premium tax credit in a projected year (refused: the guidelines and percentages are not published)"

MAGI far above the phase-out threshold removes the senior deduction entirely. With MAGI above the net investment income tax threshold, the gain owes 3.8% on the smaller of the gain and the MAGI above the threshold. Tax-exempt interest counts in provisional income (the benefits are 85% taxable either way here) and in the IRMAA MAGI, but not in AGI.

"Form 4952 investment-interest elections (the Schedule D Tax Worksheet lines 3 to 5 and 8, and the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet's line 3); qualified dividends are taken to meet the holding-period test (more than 60 days in the 121-day period around the ex-dividend date, IRS Pub 550)",

"The calculation of substantially equal periodic payments (the installment is an input), the other §72(t)(2) exceptions (first home, medical, birth or adoption, emergency, domestic abuse, terminal illness), the further Form 5329 exceptions (a qualified domestic relations order, health insurance while unemployed, higher education, an IRS levy, reservists, ESOP dividends, federal phased retirement, §414(w) and corrective distributions), the 25-years-of-service alternative to separation at 50, the 25% rate on a SIMPLE IRA distribution in its first 2 years (the engine uses 10%), and first-home or death Roth distributions",

"The balance due: withholding and estimated payments (read only by Form 2210), refundable credits (the earned income credit, the additional child tax credit, the refundable American opportunity credit, and the other Schedule 3 Part II items; excess social security withheld, Schedule 3 line 11, is reported but not netted), the refund and the amount owed (Form 1040 lines 25 to 37). The engine computes the total tax (line 24) and, on request, the Form 2210 penalty (line 38)",
"Schedule 2 taxes other than the §72(t) additional tax (and, federal engine 2.3, the §72(q) one and Form 5329's 6% and 100% taxes), the §4974 missed-RMD excise and the net investment income tax: household employment taxes, the HSA, Archer MSA and other account additional taxes, credit recaptures, the deferred-compensation (§409A, §457A) and installment-sale interest taxes, and the rest of Schedule 2",

"Royalty income, Schedule E Parts IV-V (REMICs, farm rental), Form 4797 gains, farm income and personal-property rental: no field carries them into the net investment income tax (otherOrdinaryIncome and pension are never net investment income; a nonqualified annuity has its own field; rental real estate has rentalNetIncome, federal engine 2.1; partnerships, S corporations, estates and trusts the K-1 fields, federal engine 2.3)",

"The foreign earned income and housing exclusions (Form 2555) and the possession exclusions: MAGI is AGI throughout (the senior deduction, the NIIT, the SALT cap), and there is no Foreign Earned Income Tax Worksheet",
"A filer or spouse who can be claimed as someone's dependent (the limited standard deduction), a dual-status alien, the Social Security lump-sum election (Pub 915 worksheets 2 to 4), the Form 8815 savings-bond interest exclusion and the other Pub 915 line 5 exclusions, repayments of benefits, a child's income on the parent's return (Form 8814), lump-sum distribution averaging (Form 4972), the retired public safety officer insurance exclusion and a pension's exclusion ratio for after-tax contributions (the pension field is the taxable amount)",

"Planner IRMAA: the MAGI add-backs other than tax-exempt interest (the savings-bond interest exclusion, foreign earned income, possession income), the three-year-old return when the two-year-old one is not available, and a new determination after a life-changing event (Form SSA-44): the planner always uses the MAGI of two years earlier",
"Planner RMDs per owner and per account: employer plans are not figured separately from IRAs, and a spouse's own IRA is distributed on the spouse's age, start age and divisor only when the plan gives the spouse's share of the traditional balance (traditionalBalanceSpouse); otherwise the planner takes one RMD on the household's combined traditional balance at the primary owner's age",
"On Form 8960 Part II: foreign income tax and state or local property taxes attributable to net investment income (line 9b), miscellaneous investment expenses (line 9c), additional modifications (line 10) and the Form 4952 limit (investmentInterest is the deductible amount)",
"§72(q) beyond the 10% and its exceptions (federal engine 2.3): the recapture with interest of a series of substantially equal payments modified before 59½ or within 5 years (§72(q)(3)), the 5% rate on a deferred annuity under a pre-March 1, 1986 election, and a modified endowment contract's additional tax (§72(v)); the annuity's exclusion ratio (nonqualifiedAnnuity is the taxable part)",
"Substantially equal periodic payments from an employer plan, which §72(t)(3)(B) excepts only after the employee separates from service: seppDistribution is the IRA part, and the API refuses a seppDistribution that overlaps employerPlanDistribution",
"Rental real estate beyond Schedule E Part I as one net amount, and Schedule E Parts II-III beyond one net amount per class (federal engine 2.3): royalties, REMICs (Part IV), farm rental (Form 4835), the release of a suspended loss on a disposition (section 469(g)) or at death, the commercial revitalization deduction, the per-activity allocation of the unallowed loss within a class (Form 8582 worksheets: each class is one activity), depreciation (an input inside the net amount) and its recapture, the at-risk rules (Form 6198) and the partner and shareholder basis limits (sections 704(d), 1366(d); Forms 7203/7217: the K-1 amounts are entered after them), the excess business loss limitation of section 461(l) (refused above its threshold), publicly traded partnerships, self-charged interest, the Form 1041 K-1 box 14 code H adjustment of Form 8960 line 7, a net operating loss, the rental real estate safe harbor of the QBI deduction (Rev. Proc. 2019-38), the AMT refiguring of passive losses, and the real estate professional's net investment income safe harbor (Treas. Reg. section 1.1411-4(g)(7)); Form 1116 line 3e takes the positive rental net income as gross income",
"Inherited accounts beyond one account and one beneficiary: several beneficiaries of one account (the oldest's life expectancy, separate accounts) and trusts as beneficiaries (see-through trusts, applicable multi-beneficiary trusts) are the caller's to reduce to one beneficiary type; a successor beneficiary (the beneficiary of a beneficiary who died) and the 10-year limit after an eligible designated beneficiary's death; the surviving spouse's election to be treated as the decedent (SECURE 2.0 section 327), the spouse who dies before distributions begin, and the deemed election to treat the IRA as one's own; the decedent's basis (its own Form 8606) and a nonqualified distribution from an inherited Roth IRA; the 10-year election's deadline; the plan's own terms (a plan may require the 5-year or 10-year rule)",
"Form 8962 beyond Parts I-III for one tax family: the allocation of a policy shared with another tax family (Part IV), the alternative calculation for the year of marriage (Part V), a qualified small employer health reimbursement arrangement, a dependent's own Form 8962, the self-employed health insurance deduction together with the credit (refused), the special enrollment period and eligibility facts (other minimum essential coverage, affordable employer coverage, lawful presence; the caller's assertion), and a premium tax credit in a projected year (refused: the guidelines and percentages are not published)"

}A year with a net capital loss
An $8,000 short-term loss and a $2,000 long-term gain net to a $6,000 loss (Schedule D line 16). Line 7a is the $3,000 allowed against other income (§1211(b)); the other $3,000 carries to next year as a short-term loss (the Capital Loss Carryover Worksheet; in the response, the short-term carryover out of schedules.scheduleD). The allowed loss lowers AGI and with it provisional income, so less of the Social Security is taxable.

"Form 4952 investment-interest elections (the Schedule D Tax Worksheet lines 3 to 5 and 8, and the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet's line 3); qualified dividends are taken to meet the holding-period test (more than 60 days in the 121-day period around the ex-dividend date, IRS Pub 550)",

"Adjustments to income (Schedule 1 Part II) other than the deductible part of self-employment tax, the self-employed retirement plan deduction and the self-employed health insurance deduction (lines 15-17); the Schedule 1-A car-loan interest deduction; the tips and overtime deductions' valid-SSN and qualifying-occupation conditions are the caller's assertion",

"The calculation of substantially equal periodic payments (the installment is an input), the other §72(t)(2) exceptions (first home, medical, birth or adoption, emergency, domestic abuse, terminal illness), the further Form 5329 exceptions (a qualified domestic relations order, health insurance while unemployed, higher education, an IRS levy, reservists, ESOP dividends, federal phased retirement, §414(w) and corrective distributions), the 25-years-of-service alternative to separation at 50, the 25% rate on a SIMPLE IRA distribution in its first 2 years (the engine uses 10%), and first-home or death Roth distributions",
"The §4974(d) reasonable-cause waiver of the missed-RMD excise and the still-working exception for an employer plan; one request carries one excise rate (a shortfall partly corrected and partly not cannot be sent at once)",
"Form 2210's penalty waivers and the farmer and fisherman rules, Part II box E (a joint return in only one of the two years), Schedule AI for estates and trusts, and Schedule AI's period amounts of the items a request cannot split by period (Schedule A amounts, the AMT preference items, the credits' inputs and the rest accrue evenly through the year); the Schedule AI NIIT and Additional Medicare Tax are figured on the annualized amounts (the instructions give no other rule)",

"A spouse's death on a single return: the capital-loss carryover out is the joint return's; the decedent's share does not pass to the survivor (IRS Pub 550), so the caller enters the survivor's share as next year's carryover (the Monte Carlo planner splits it: spouseCapitalLossShare)",
"The balance due: withholding and estimated payments (read only by Form 2210), refundable credits (the earned income credit, the additional child tax credit, the refundable American opportunity credit, and the other Schedule 3 Part II items; excess social security withheld, Schedule 3 line 11, is reported but not netted), the refund and the amount owed (Form 1040 lines 25 to 37). The engine computes the total tax (line 24) and, on request, the Form 2210 penalty (line 38)",
"Schedule 2 taxes other than the §72(t) additional tax (and, federal engine 2.3, the §72(q) one and Form 5329's 6% and 100% taxes), the §4974 missed-RMD excise and the net investment income tax: household employment taxes, the HSA, Archer MSA and other account additional taxes, credit recaptures, the deferred-compensation (§409A, §457A) and installment-sale interest taxes, and the rest of Schedule 2",

"Royalty income, Schedule E Parts IV-V (REMICs, farm rental), Form 4797 gains, farm income and personal-property rental: no field carries them into the net investment income tax (otherOrdinaryIncome and pension are never net investment income; a nonqualified annuity has its own field; rental real estate has rentalNetIncome, federal engine 2.1; partnerships, S corporations, estates and trusts the K-1 fields, federal engine 2.3)",

"The foreign earned income and housing exclusions (Form 2555) and the possession exclusions: MAGI is AGI throughout (the senior deduction, the NIIT, the SALT cap), and there is no Foreign Earned Income Tax Worksheet",
"A filer or spouse who can be claimed as someone's dependent (the limited standard deduction), a dual-status alien, the Social Security lump-sum election (Pub 915 worksheets 2 to 4), the Form 8815 savings-bond interest exclusion and the other Pub 915 line 5 exclusions, repayments of benefits, a child's income on the parent's return (Form 8814), lump-sum distribution averaging (Form 4972), the retired public safety officer insurance exclusion and a pension's exclusion ratio for after-tax contributions (the pension field is the taxable amount)",

"Planner RMDs per owner and per account: employer plans are not figured separately from IRAs, and a spouse's own IRA is distributed on the spouse's age, start age and divisor only when the plan gives the spouse's share of the traditional balance (traditionalBalanceSpouse); otherwise the planner takes one RMD on the household's combined traditional balance at the primary owner's age",
"On Form 8960 Part II: foreign income tax and state or local property taxes attributable to net investment income (line 9b), miscellaneous investment expenses (line 9c), additional modifications (line 10) and the Form 4952 limit (investmentInterest is the deductible amount)",

"Substantially equal periodic payments from an employer plan, which §72(t)(3)(B) excepts only after the employee separates from service: seppDistribution is the IRA part, and the API refuses a seppDistribution that overlaps employerPlanDistribution",
"Rental real estate beyond Schedule E Part I as one net amount, and Schedule E Parts II-III beyond one net amount per class (federal engine 2.3): royalties, REMICs (Part IV), farm rental (Form 4835), the release of a suspended loss on a disposition (section 469(g)) or at death, the commercial revitalization deduction, the per-activity allocation of the unallowed loss within a class (Form 8582 worksheets: each class is one activity), depreciation (an input inside the net amount) and its recapture, the at-risk rules (Form 6198) and the partner and shareholder basis limits (sections 704(d), 1366(d); Forms 7203/7217: the K-1 amounts are entered after them), the excess business loss limitation of section 461(l) (refused above its threshold), publicly traded partnerships, self-charged interest, the Form 1041 K-1 box 14 code H adjustment of Form 8960 line 7, a net operating loss, the rental real estate safe harbor of the QBI deduction (Rev. Proc. 2019-38), the AMT refiguring of passive losses, and the real estate professional's net investment income safe harbor (Treas. Reg. section 1.1411-4(g)(7)); Form 1116 line 3e takes the positive rental net income as gross income",
"Inherited accounts beyond one account and one beneficiary: several beneficiaries of one account (the oldest's life expectancy, separate accounts) and trusts as beneficiaries (see-through trusts, applicable multi-beneficiary trusts) are the caller's to reduce to one beneficiary type; a successor beneficiary (the beneficiary of a beneficiary who died) and the 10-year limit after an eligible designated beneficiary's death; the surviving spouse's election to be treated as the decedent (SECURE 2.0 section 327), the spouse who dies before distributions begin, and the deemed election to treat the IRA as one's own; the decedent's basis (its own Form 8606) and a nonqualified distribution from an inherited Roth IRA; the 10-year election's deadline; the plan's own terms (a plan may require the 5-year or 10-year rule)",
"Form 8962 beyond Parts I-III for one tax family: the allocation of a policy shared with another tax family (Part IV), the alternative calculation for the year of marriage (Part V), a qualified small employer health reimbursement arrangement, a dependent's own Form 8962, the self-employed health insurance deduction together with the credit (refused), the special enrollment period and eligibility facts (other minimum essential coverage, affordable employer coverage, lawful presence; the caller's assertion), and a premium tax credit in a projected year (refused: the guidelines and percentages are not published)"

}A couple who itemize, with the SALT phase-down and §68
A joint return with $620,000 of AGI: the SALT cap of $40,400 is phased down by 30% of the MAGI over $505,000 and stops at the $10,000 floor, the cash gift loses 0.5% of AGI to the floor, and §68 takes nothing because taxable income stays below the 37% bracket. Schedule A beats the standard deduction, so the return itemizes (schedules.scheduleA).

"Form 4952 investment-interest elections (the Schedule D Tax Worksheet lines 3 to 5 and 8, and the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet's line 3); qualified dividends are taken to meet the holding-period test (more than 60 days in the 121-day period around the ex-dividend date, IRS Pub 550)",
"Credits other than the foreign tax credit, the credit for the elderly or disabled, the saver's credit, the child tax credit and credit for other dependents and the earned income credit: child and dependent care, education, energy and vehicle credits, the adoption credit, the general business credit, the prior-year minimum tax credit (Form 8801); the dependency, relationship, residency, identification-number and student tests of the credits are the caller's assertion; the EIC of a filer with foreign earned income, the Schedule 8812 Puerto Rico rules and nontaxable combat pay",
"Foreign tax credit and AMT limits: foreign income other than passive fund income (the general, section 901(j), treaty and lump-sum categories, foreign 25%/28% gains, Form 2555), interest expense apportionment (Form 1116 lines 4a-4b), foreign tax reductions and the high-tax kickout (lines 12-13), the carryback and reading back a carryover out, the AMT refiguring of capital gains and of Form 4952 (lines 2c and Part III) and the Form 6251 adjustments beyond private-activity-bond interest, incentive stock options and the caller's disposition and other adjustments",
"Adjustments to income (Schedule 1 Part II) other than the deductible part of self-employment tax, the self-employed retirement plan deduction and the self-employed health insurance deduction (lines 15-17); the Schedule 1-A car-loan interest deduction; the tips and overtime deductions' valid-SSN and qualifying-occupation conditions are the caller's assertion",
"Private-foundation gift limits (and their carryover classes), the 0.5% floor on carryovers into 2026 and later as the IRS may read it (the engine applies it to the total, carryovers included), non-cash gifts other than long-term capital-gain property (ordinary-income property and the §170(e) reduction), and the §163(h)(3) mortgage-debt limit (mortgage interest is taken as a deductible amount); casualty and theft losses (Schedule A line 15, Form 4684); other itemized deductions (line 16) are taken as already limited (gambling losses up to winnings)",
"The calculation of substantially equal periodic payments (the installment is an input), the other §72(t)(2) exceptions (first home, medical, birth or adoption, emergency, domestic abuse, terminal illness), the further Form 5329 exceptions (a qualified domestic relations order, health insurance while unemployed, higher education, an IRS levy, reservists, ESOP dividends, federal phased retirement, §414(w) and corrective distributions), the 25-years-of-service alternative to separation at 50, the 25% rate on a SIMPLE IRA distribution in its first 2 years (the engine uses 10%), and first-home or death Roth distributions",
"The §4974(d) reasonable-cause waiver of the missed-RMD excise and the still-working exception for an employer plan; one request carries one excise rate (a shortfall partly corrected and partly not cannot be sent at once)",
"Form 2210's penalty waivers and the farmer and fisherman rules, Part II box E (a joint return in only one of the two years), Schedule AI for estates and trusts, and Schedule AI's period amounts of the items a request cannot split by period (Schedule A amounts, the AMT preference items, the credits' inputs and the rest accrue evenly through the year); the Schedule AI NIIT and Additional Medicare Tax are figured on the annualized amounts (the instructions give no other rule)",
"A qualifying surviving spouse's eligibility (the year of death, the dependent child) is the caller's assertion; the split-interest QCD is an engine function, not a request field",
"A spouse's death on a single return: the capital-loss carryover out is the joint return's; the decedent's share does not pass to the survivor (IRS Pub 550), so the caller enters the survivor's share as next year's carryover (the Monte Carlo planner splits it: spouseCapitalLossShare)",
"The balance due: withholding and estimated payments (read only by Form 2210), refundable credits (the earned income credit, the additional child tax credit, the refundable American opportunity credit, and the other Schedule 3 Part II items; excess social security withheld, Schedule 3 line 11, is reported but not netted), the refund and the amount owed (Form 1040 lines 25 to 37). The engine computes the total tax (line 24) and, on request, the Form 2210 penalty (line 38)",
"Schedule 2 taxes other than the §72(t) additional tax (and, federal engine 2.3, the §72(q) one and Form 5329's 6% and 100% taxes), the §4974 missed-RMD excise and the net investment income tax: household employment taxes, the HSA, Archer MSA and other account additional taxes, credit recaptures, the deferred-compensation (§409A, §457A) and installment-sale interest taxes, and the rest of Schedule 2",
"Form 5329 Part II (the additional tax on Coverdell ESA, QTP and ABLE account distributions), and around Parts III-VIII (federal engine 2.3): the deemed contribution of a prior excess absorbed by this year's unused limit (the IRA Deduction Worksheet, Form 8889 line 13: the engine has no traditional IRA or HSA deduction), Form 8889 itself (the HSA deduction, the 20% on distributions not used for medical expenses), the contributors' Coverdell MAGI limits, the Archer MSA limit and the ABLE-to-work amount (the caller's limits), a spouse's Coverdell ESA, Archer MSA, ABLE or Trump account, the 2025 Trump account excess (0 for 2026) and the excess-contribution limits of a projected year (refused)",
"Royalty income, Schedule E Parts IV-V (REMICs, farm rental), Form 4797 gains, farm income and personal-property rental: no field carries them into the net investment income tax (otherOrdinaryIncome and pension are never net investment income; a nonqualified annuity has its own field; rental real estate has rentalNetIncome, federal engine 2.1; partnerships, S corporations, estates and trusts the K-1 fields, federal engine 2.3)",
"Other Schedule 1 income items with their own rules: the net operating loss deduction, hobby income, §951/§951A inclusions, the §461(l) excess business loss adjustment and digital assets received as ordinary income",
"The foreign earned income and housing exclusions (Form 2555) and the possession exclusions: MAGI is AGI throughout (the senior deduction, the NIIT, the SALT cap), and there is no Foreign Earned Income Tax Worksheet",
"A filer or spouse who can be claimed as someone's dependent (the limited standard deduction), a dual-status alien, the Social Security lump-sum election (Pub 915 worksheets 2 to 4), the Form 8815 savings-bond interest exclusion and the other Pub 915 line 5 exclusions, repayments of benefits, a child's income on the parent's return (Form 8814), lump-sum distribution averaging (Form 4972), the retired public safety officer insurance exclusion and a pension's exclusion ratio for after-tax contributions (the pension field is the taxable amount)",
"The senior deduction's valid-SSN condition is assumed met",
"Form 8606 line 4 (contributions made after the year end) and qualified disaster distributions and repayments (lines 15b, 15c, 25b); the carry-forward basis omits them",
"Planner IRMAA: the MAGI add-backs other than tax-exempt interest (the savings-bond interest exclusion, foreign earned income, possession income), the three-year-old return when the two-year-old one is not available, and a new determination after a life-changing event (Form SSA-44): the planner always uses the MAGI of two years earlier",
"Planner RMDs per owner and per account: employer plans are not figured separately from IRAs, and a spouse's own IRA is distributed on the spouse's age, start age and divisor only when the plan gives the spouse's share of the traditional balance (traditionalBalanceSpouse); otherwise the planner takes one RMD on the household's combined traditional balance at the primary owner's age",
"On Form 8960 Part II: foreign income tax and state or local property taxes attributable to net investment income (line 9b), miscellaneous investment expenses (line 9c), additional modifications (line 10) and the Form 4952 limit (investmentInterest is the deductible amount)",
"§72(q) beyond the 10% and its exceptions (federal engine 2.3): the recapture with interest of a series of substantially equal payments modified before 59½ or within 5 years (§72(q)(3)), the 5% rate on a deferred annuity under a pre-March 1, 1986 election, and a modified endowment contract's additional tax (§72(v)); the annuity's exclusion ratio (nonqualifiedAnnuity is the taxable part)",
"Substantially equal periodic payments from an employer plan, which §72(t)(3)(B) excepts only after the employee separates from service: seppDistribution is the IRA part, and the API refuses a seppDistribution that overlaps employerPlanDistribution",
"Rental real estate beyond Schedule E Part I as one net amount, and Schedule E Parts II-III beyond one net amount per class (federal engine 2.3): royalties, REMICs (Part IV), farm rental (Form 4835), the release of a suspended loss on a disposition (section 469(g)) or at death, the commercial revitalization deduction, the per-activity allocation of the unallowed loss within a class (Form 8582 worksheets: each class is one activity), depreciation (an input inside the net amount) and its recapture, the at-risk rules (Form 6198) and the partner and shareholder basis limits (sections 704(d), 1366(d); Forms 7203/7217: the K-1 amounts are entered after them), the excess business loss limitation of section 461(l) (refused above its threshold), publicly traded partnerships, self-charged interest, the Form 1041 K-1 box 14 code H adjustment of Form 8960 line 7, a net operating loss, the rental real estate safe harbor of the QBI deduction (Rev. Proc. 2019-38), the AMT refiguring of passive losses, and the real estate professional's net investment income safe harbor (Treas. Reg. section 1.1411-4(g)(7)); Form 1116 line 3e takes the positive rental net income as gross income",
"Inherited accounts beyond one account and one beneficiary: several beneficiaries of one account (the oldest's life expectancy, separate accounts) and trusts as beneficiaries (see-through trusts, applicable multi-beneficiary trusts) are the caller's to reduce to one beneficiary type; a successor beneficiary (the beneficiary of a beneficiary who died) and the 10-year limit after an eligible designated beneficiary's death; the surviving spouse's election to be treated as the decedent (SECURE 2.0 section 327), the spouse who dies before distributions begin, and the deemed election to treat the IRA as one's own; the decedent's basis (its own Form 8606) and a nonqualified distribution from an inherited Roth IRA; the 10-year election's deadline; the plan's own terms (a plan may require the 5-year or 10-year rule)",
"Form 8962 beyond Parts I-III for one tax family: the allocation of a policy shared with another tax family (Part IV), the alternative calculation for the year of marriage (Part V), a qualified small employer health reimbursement arrangement, a dependent's own Form 8962, the self-employed health insurance deduction together with the credit (refused), the special enrollment period and eligibility facts (other minimum essential coverage, affordable employer coverage, lawful presence; the caller's assertion), and a premium tax credit in a projected year (refused: the guidelines and percentages are not published)"

}Retiring at 56: the rule of 55, IRA basis and a Roth withdrawal
The filer reached 55 in the year they left their employer, so the 401(k) part of the withdrawal has no §72(t) additional tax; the IRA part does, after Form 8606 takes out its share of the nondeductible basis. A Roth withdrawal beyond the contributions reaches a 2023 conversion inside its 5 years.

"Form 4952 investment-interest elections (the Schedule D Tax Worksheet lines 3 to 5 and 8, and the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet's line 3); qualified dividends are taken to meet the holding-period test (more than 60 days in the 121-day period around the ex-dividend date, IRS Pub 550)",

"Foreign tax credit and AMT limits: foreign income other than passive fund income (the general, section 901(j), treaty and lump-sum categories, foreign 25%/28% gains, Form 2555), interest expense apportionment (Form 1116 lines 4a-4b), foreign tax reductions and the high-tax kickout (lines 12-13), the carryback and reading back a carryover out, the AMT refiguring of capital gains and of Form 4952 (lines 2c and Part III) and the Form 6251 adjustments beyond private-activity-bond interest, incentive stock options and the caller's disposition and other adjustments",
"Adjustments to income (Schedule 1 Part II) other than the deductible part of self-employment tax, the self-employed retirement plan deduction and the self-employed health insurance deduction (lines 15-17); the Schedule 1-A car-loan interest deduction; the tips and overtime deductions' valid-SSN and qualifying-occupation conditions are the caller's assertion",
"Private-foundation gift limits (and their carryover classes), the 0.5% floor on carryovers into 2026 and later as the IRS may read it (the engine applies it to the total, carryovers included), non-cash gifts other than long-term capital-gain property (ordinary-income property and the §170(e) reduction), and the §163(h)(3) mortgage-debt limit (mortgage interest is taken as a deductible amount); casualty and theft losses (Schedule A line 15, Form 4684); other itemized deductions (line 16) are taken as already limited (gambling losses up to winnings)",
"The calculation of substantially equal periodic payments (the installment is an input), the other §72(t)(2) exceptions (first home, medical, birth or adoption, emergency, domestic abuse, terminal illness), the further Form 5329 exceptions (a qualified domestic relations order, health insurance while unemployed, higher education, an IRS levy, reservists, ESOP dividends, federal phased retirement, §414(w) and corrective distributions), the 25-years-of-service alternative to separation at 50, the 25% rate on a SIMPLE IRA distribution in its first 2 years (the engine uses 10%), and first-home or death Roth distributions",

"A spouse's death on a single return: the capital-loss carryover out is the joint return's; the decedent's share does not pass to the survivor (IRS Pub 550), so the caller enters the survivor's share as next year's carryover (the Monte Carlo planner splits it: spouseCapitalLossShare)",
"The balance due: withholding and estimated payments (read only by Form 2210), refundable credits (the earned income credit, the additional child tax credit, the refundable American opportunity credit, and the other Schedule 3 Part II items; excess social security withheld, Schedule 3 line 11, is reported but not netted), the refund and the amount owed (Form 1040 lines 25 to 37). The engine computes the total tax (line 24) and, on request, the Form 2210 penalty (line 38)",
"Schedule 2 taxes other than the §72(t) additional tax (and, federal engine 2.3, the §72(q) one and Form 5329's 6% and 100% taxes), the §4974 missed-RMD excise and the net investment income tax: household employment taxes, the HSA, Archer MSA and other account additional taxes, credit recaptures, the deferred-compensation (§409A, §457A) and installment-sale interest taxes, and the rest of Schedule 2",
"Form 5329 Part II (the additional tax on Coverdell ESA, QTP and ABLE account distributions), and around Parts III-VIII (federal engine 2.3): the deemed contribution of a prior excess absorbed by this year's unused limit (the IRA Deduction Worksheet, Form 8889 line 13: the engine has no traditional IRA or HSA deduction), Form 8889 itself (the HSA deduction, the 20% on distributions not used for medical expenses), the contributors' Coverdell MAGI limits, the Archer MSA limit and the ABLE-to-work amount (the caller's limits), a spouse's Coverdell ESA, Archer MSA, ABLE or Trump account, the 2025 Trump account excess (0 for 2026) and the excess-contribution limits of a projected year (refused)",
"Royalty income, Schedule E Parts IV-V (REMICs, farm rental), Form 4797 gains, farm income and personal-property rental: no field carries them into the net investment income tax (otherOrdinaryIncome and pension are never net investment income; a nonqualified annuity has its own field; rental real estate has rentalNetIncome, federal engine 2.1; partnerships, S corporations, estates and trusts the K-1 fields, federal engine 2.3)",
"Other Schedule 1 income items with their own rules: the net operating loss deduction, hobby income, §951/§951A inclusions, the §461(l) excess business loss adjustment and digital assets received as ordinary income",
"The foreign earned income and housing exclusions (Form 2555) and the possession exclusions: MAGI is AGI throughout (the senior deduction, the NIIT, the SALT cap), and there is no Foreign Earned Income Tax Worksheet",
"A filer or spouse who can be claimed as someone's dependent (the limited standard deduction), a dual-status alien, the Social Security lump-sum election (Pub 915 worksheets 2 to 4), the Form 8815 savings-bond interest exclusion and the other Pub 915 line 5 exclusions, repayments of benefits, a child's income on the parent's return (Form 8814), lump-sum distribution averaging (Form 4972), the retired public safety officer insurance exclusion and a pension's exclusion ratio for after-tax contributions (the pension field is the taxable amount)",
"The senior deduction's valid-SSN condition is assumed met",
"Form 8606 line 4 (contributions made after the year end) and qualified disaster distributions and repayments (lines 15b, 15c, 25b); the carry-forward basis omits them",
"Planner IRMAA: the MAGI add-backs other than tax-exempt interest (the savings-bond interest exclusion, foreign earned income, possession income), the three-year-old return when the two-year-old one is not available, and a new determination after a life-changing event (Form SSA-44): the planner always uses the MAGI of two years earlier",
"Planner RMDs per owner and per account: employer plans are not figured separately from IRAs, and a spouse's own IRA is distributed on the spouse's age, start age and divisor only when the plan gives the spouse's share of the traditional balance (traditionalBalanceSpouse); otherwise the planner takes one RMD on the household's combined traditional balance at the primary owner's age",
"On Form 8960 Part II: foreign income tax and state or local property taxes attributable to net investment income (line 9b), miscellaneous investment expenses (line 9c), additional modifications (line 10) and the Form 4952 limit (investmentInterest is the deductible amount)",
"§72(q) beyond the 10% and its exceptions (federal engine 2.3): the recapture with interest of a series of substantially equal payments modified before 59½ or within 5 years (§72(q)(3)), the 5% rate on a deferred annuity under a pre-March 1, 1986 election, and a modified endowment contract's additional tax (§72(v)); the annuity's exclusion ratio (nonqualifiedAnnuity is the taxable part)",
"Substantially equal periodic payments from an employer plan, which §72(t)(3)(B) excepts only after the employee separates from service: seppDistribution is the IRA part, and the API refuses a seppDistribution that overlaps employerPlanDistribution",
"Rental real estate beyond Schedule E Part I as one net amount, and Schedule E Parts II-III beyond one net amount per class (federal engine 2.3): royalties, REMICs (Part IV), farm rental (Form 4835), the release of a suspended loss on a disposition (section 469(g)) or at death, the commercial revitalization deduction, the per-activity allocation of the unallowed loss within a class (Form 8582 worksheets: each class is one activity), depreciation (an input inside the net amount) and its recapture, the at-risk rules (Form 6198) and the partner and shareholder basis limits (sections 704(d), 1366(d); Forms 7203/7217: the K-1 amounts are entered after them), the excess business loss limitation of section 461(l) (refused above its threshold), publicly traded partnerships, self-charged interest, the Form 1041 K-1 box 14 code H adjustment of Form 8960 line 7, a net operating loss, the rental real estate safe harbor of the QBI deduction (Rev. Proc. 2019-38), the AMT refiguring of passive losses, and the real estate professional's net investment income safe harbor (Treas. Reg. section 1.1411-4(g)(7)); Form 1116 line 3e takes the positive rental net income as gross income",
"Inherited accounts beyond one account and one beneficiary: several beneficiaries of one account (the oldest's life expectancy, separate accounts) and trusts as beneficiaries (see-through trusts, applicable multi-beneficiary trusts) are the caller's to reduce to one beneficiary type; a successor beneficiary (the beneficiary of a beneficiary who died) and the 10-year limit after an eligible designated beneficiary's death; the surviving spouse's election to be treated as the decedent (SECURE 2.0 section 327), the spouse who dies before distributions begin, and the deemed election to treat the IRA as one's own; the decedent's basis (its own Form 8606) and a nonqualified distribution from an inherited Roth IRA; the 10-year election's deadline; the plan's own terms (a plan may require the 5-year or 10-year rule)",
"Form 8962 beyond Parts I-III for one tax family: the allocation of a policy shared with another tax family (Part IV), the alternative calculation for the year of marriage (Part V), a qualified small employer health reimbursement arrangement, a dependent's own Form 8962, the self-employed health insurance deduction together with the credit (refused), the special enrollment period and eligibility facts (other minimum essential coverage, affordable employer coverage, lawful presence; the caller's assertion), and a premium tax credit in a projected year (refused: the guidelines and percentages are not published)"

"Form 4952 investment-interest elections (the Schedule D Tax Worksheet lines 3 to 5 and 8, and the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet's line 3); qualified dividends are taken to meet the holding-period test (more than 60 days in the 121-day period around the ex-dividend date, IRS Pub 550)",
"Credits other than the foreign tax credit, the credit for the elderly or disabled, the saver's credit, the child tax credit and credit for other dependents and the earned income credit: child and dependent care, education, energy and vehicle credits, the adoption credit, the general business credit, the prior-year minimum tax credit (Form 8801); the dependency, relationship, residency, identification-number and student tests of the credits are the caller's assertion; the EIC of a filer with foreign earned income, the Schedule 8812 Puerto Rico rules and nontaxable combat pay",
"Foreign tax credit and AMT limits: foreign income other than passive fund income (the general, section 901(j), treaty and lump-sum categories, foreign 25%/28% gains, Form 2555), interest expense apportionment (Form 1116 lines 4a-4b), foreign tax reductions and the high-tax kickout (lines 12-13), the carryback and reading back a carryover out, the AMT refiguring of capital gains and of Form 4952 (lines 2c and Part III) and the Form 6251 adjustments beyond private-activity-bond interest, incentive stock options and the caller's disposition and other adjustments",
"Adjustments to income (Schedule 1 Part II) other than the deductible part of self-employment tax, the self-employed retirement plan deduction and the self-employed health insurance deduction (lines 15-17); the Schedule 1-A car-loan interest deduction; the tips and overtime deductions' valid-SSN and qualifying-occupation conditions are the caller's assertion",
"Private-foundation gift limits (and their carryover classes), the 0.5% floor on carryovers into 2026 and later as the IRS may read it (the engine applies it to the total, carryovers included), non-cash gifts other than long-term capital-gain property (ordinary-income property and the §170(e) reduction), and the §163(h)(3) mortgage-debt limit (mortgage interest is taken as a deductible amount); casualty and theft losses (Schedule A line 15, Form 4684); other itemized deductions (line 16) are taken as already limited (gambling losses up to winnings)",
"The calculation of substantially equal periodic payments (the installment is an input), the other §72(t)(2) exceptions (first home, medical, birth or adoption, emergency, domestic abuse, terminal illness), the further Form 5329 exceptions (a qualified domestic relations order, health insurance while unemployed, higher education, an IRS levy, reservists, ESOP dividends, federal phased retirement, §414(w) and corrective distributions), the 25-years-of-service alternative to separation at 50, the 25% rate on a SIMPLE IRA distribution in its first 2 years (the engine uses 10%), and first-home or death Roth distributions",
"The §4974(d) reasonable-cause waiver of the missed-RMD excise and the still-working exception for an employer plan; one request carries one excise rate (a shortfall partly corrected and partly not cannot be sent at once)",
"Form 2210's penalty waivers and the farmer and fisherman rules, Part II box E (a joint return in only one of the two years), Schedule AI for estates and trusts, and Schedule AI's period amounts of the items a request cannot split by period (Schedule A amounts, the AMT preference items, the credits' inputs and the rest accrue evenly through the year); the Schedule AI NIIT and Additional Medicare Tax are figured on the annualized amounts (the instructions give no other rule)",
"A qualifying surviving spouse's eligibility (the year of death, the dependent child) is the caller's assertion; the split-interest QCD is an engine function, not a request field",
"A spouse's death on a single return: the capital-loss carryover out is the joint return's; the decedent's share does not pass to the survivor (IRS Pub 550), so the caller enters the survivor's share as next year's carryover (the Monte Carlo planner splits it: spouseCapitalLossShare)",
"The balance due: withholding and estimated payments (read only by Form 2210), refundable credits (the earned income credit, the additional child tax credit, the refundable American opportunity credit, and the other Schedule 3 Part II items; excess social security withheld, Schedule 3 line 11, is reported but not netted), the refund and the amount owed (Form 1040 lines 25 to 37). The engine computes the total tax (line 24) and, on request, the Form 2210 penalty (line 38)",
"Schedule 2 taxes other than the §72(t) additional tax (and, federal engine 2.3, the §72(q) one and Form 5329's 6% and 100% taxes), the §4974 missed-RMD excise and the net investment income tax: household employment taxes, the HSA, Archer MSA and other account additional taxes, credit recaptures, the deferred-compensation (§409A, §457A) and installment-sale interest taxes, and the rest of Schedule 2",
"Form 5329 Part II (the additional tax on Coverdell ESA, QTP and ABLE account distributions), and around Parts III-VIII (federal engine 2.3): the deemed contribution of a prior excess absorbed by this year's unused limit (the IRA Deduction Worksheet, Form 8889 line 13: the engine has no traditional IRA or HSA deduction), Form 8889 itself (the HSA deduction, the 20% on distributions not used for medical expenses), the contributors' Coverdell MAGI limits, the Archer MSA limit and the ABLE-to-work amount (the caller's limits), a spouse's Coverdell ESA, Archer MSA, ABLE or Trump account, the 2025 Trump account excess (0 for 2026) and the excess-contribution limits of a projected year (refused)",
"Royalty income, Schedule E Parts IV-V (REMICs, farm rental), Form 4797 gains, farm income and personal-property rental: no field carries them into the net investment income tax (otherOrdinaryIncome and pension are never net investment income; a nonqualified annuity has its own field; rental real estate has rentalNetIncome, federal engine 2.1; partnerships, S corporations, estates and trusts the K-1 fields, federal engine 2.3)",
"Other Schedule 1 income items with their own rules: the net operating loss deduction, hobby income, §951/§951A inclusions, the §461(l) excess business loss adjustment and digital assets received as ordinary income",
"The foreign earned income and housing exclusions (Form 2555) and the possession exclusions: MAGI is AGI throughout (the senior deduction, the NIIT, the SALT cap), and there is no Foreign Earned Income Tax Worksheet",
"A filer or spouse who can be claimed as someone's dependent (the limited standard deduction), a dual-status alien, the Social Security lump-sum election (Pub 915 worksheets 2 to 4), the Form 8815 savings-bond interest exclusion and the other Pub 915 line 5 exclusions, repayments of benefits, a child's income on the parent's return (Form 8814), lump-sum distribution averaging (Form 4972), the retired public safety officer insurance exclusion and a pension's exclusion ratio for after-tax contributions (the pension field is the taxable amount)",
"The senior deduction's valid-SSN condition is assumed met",
"Form 8606 line 4 (contributions made after the year end) and qualified disaster distributions and repayments (lines 15b, 15c, 25b); the carry-forward basis omits them",
"Planner IRMAA: the MAGI add-backs other than tax-exempt interest (the savings-bond interest exclusion, foreign earned income, possession income), the three-year-old return when the two-year-old one is not available, and a new determination after a life-changing event (Form SSA-44): the planner always uses the MAGI of two years earlier",
"Planner RMDs per owner and per account: employer plans are not figured separately from IRAs, and a spouse's own IRA is distributed on the spouse's age, start age and divisor only when the plan gives the spouse's share of the traditional balance (traditionalBalanceSpouse); otherwise the planner takes one RMD on the household's combined traditional balance at the primary owner's age",
"On Form 8960 Part II: foreign income tax and state or local property taxes attributable to net investment income (line 9b), miscellaneous investment expenses (line 9c), additional modifications (line 10) and the Form 4952 limit (investmentInterest is the deductible amount)",
"§72(q) beyond the 10% and its exceptions (federal engine 2.3): the recapture with interest of a series of substantially equal payments modified before 59½ or within 5 years (§72(q)(3)), the 5% rate on a deferred annuity under a pre-March 1, 1986 election, and a modified endowment contract's additional tax (§72(v)); the annuity's exclusion ratio (nonqualifiedAnnuity is the taxable part)",
"Substantially equal periodic payments from an employer plan, which §72(t)(3)(B) excepts only after the employee separates from service: seppDistribution is the IRA part, and the API refuses a seppDistribution that overlaps employerPlanDistribution",
"Rental real estate beyond Schedule E Part I as one net amount, and Schedule E Parts II-III beyond one net amount per class (federal engine 2.3): royalties, REMICs (Part IV), farm rental (Form 4835), the release of a suspended loss on a disposition (section 469(g)) or at death, the commercial revitalization deduction, the per-activity allocation of the unallowed loss within a class (Form 8582 worksheets: each class is one activity), depreciation (an input inside the net amount) and its recapture, the at-risk rules (Form 6198) and the partner and shareholder basis limits (sections 704(d), 1366(d); Forms 7203/7217: the K-1 amounts are entered after them), the excess business loss limitation of section 461(l) (refused above its threshold), publicly traded partnerships, self-charged interest, the Form 1041 K-1 box 14 code H adjustment of Form 8960 line 7, a net operating loss, the rental real estate safe harbor of the QBI deduction (Rev. Proc. 2019-38), the AMT refiguring of passive losses, and the real estate professional's net investment income safe harbor (Treas. Reg. section 1.1411-4(g)(7)); Form 1116 line 3e takes the positive rental net income as gross income",
"Inherited accounts beyond one account and one beneficiary: several beneficiaries of one account (the oldest's life expectancy, separate accounts) and trusts as beneficiaries (see-through trusts, applicable multi-beneficiary trusts) are the caller's to reduce to one beneficiary type; a successor beneficiary (the beneficiary of a beneficiary who died) and the 10-year limit after an eligible designated beneficiary's death; the surviving spouse's election to be treated as the decedent (SECURE 2.0 section 327), the spouse who dies before distributions begin, and the deemed election to treat the IRA as one's own; the decedent's basis (its own Form 8606) and a nonqualified distribution from an inherited Roth IRA; the 10-year election's deadline; the plan's own terms (a plan may require the 5-year or 10-year rule)",
"Form 8962 beyond Parts I-III for one tax family: the allocation of a policy shared with another tax family (Part IV), the alternative calculation for the year of marriage (Part V), a qualified small employer health reimbursement arrangement, a dependent's own Form 8962, the self-employed health insurance deduction together with the credit (refused), the special enrollment period and eligibility facts (other minimum essential coverage, affordable employer coverage, lawful presence; the caller's assertion), and a premium tax credit in a projected year (refused: the guidelines and percentages are not published)"

}A retiree with dividends and a capital loss
A single filer, 68: IRA distributions, Social Security, interest and dividends (most of them qualified) and a net capital loss (the capital-loss rules apply on every return). The qualified dividends are taxed in the capital-gains worksheet; the loss is deductible up to $3,000 and the rest is next year's carryover; all of it moves AGI, so Social Security taxability moves too.

}Line 16 from the Tax Table

"Adjustments to income (Schedule 1 Part II) other than the deductible part of self-employment tax, the self-employed retirement plan deduction and the self-employed health insurance deduction (lines 15-17); the Schedule 1-A car-loan interest deduction; the tips and overtime deductions' valid-SSN and qualifying-occupation conditions are the caller's assertion",

"The calculation of substantially equal periodic payments (the installment is an input), the other §72(t)(2) exceptions (first home, medical, birth or adoption, emergency, domestic abuse, terminal illness), the further Form 5329 exceptions (a qualified domestic relations order, health insurance while unemployed, higher education, an IRS levy, reservists, ESOP dividends, federal phased retirement, §414(w) and corrective distributions), the 25-years-of-service alternative to separation at 50, the 25% rate on a SIMPLE IRA distribution in its first 2 years (the engine uses 10%), and first-home or death Roth distributions",

"A spouse's death on a single return: the capital-loss carryover out is the joint return's; the decedent's share does not pass to the survivor (IRS Pub 550), so the caller enters the survivor's share as next year's carryover (the Monte Carlo planner splits it: spouseCapitalLossShare)",
"The balance due: withholding and estimated payments (read only by Form 2210), refundable credits (the earned income credit, the additional child tax credit, the refundable American opportunity credit, and the other Schedule 3 Part II items; excess social security withheld, Schedule 3 line 11, is reported but not netted), the refund and the amount owed (Form 1040 lines 25 to 37). The engine computes the total tax (line 24) and, on request, the Form 2210 penalty (line 38)",
"Schedule 2 taxes other than the §72(t) additional tax (and, federal engine 2.3, the §72(q) one and Form 5329's 6% and 100% taxes), the §4974 missed-RMD excise and the net investment income tax: household employment taxes, the HSA, Archer MSA and other account additional taxes, credit recaptures, the deferred-compensation (§409A, §457A) and installment-sale interest taxes, and the rest of Schedule 2",

"Royalty income, Schedule E Parts IV-V (REMICs, farm rental), Form 4797 gains, farm income and personal-property rental: no field carries them into the net investment income tax (otherOrdinaryIncome and pension are never net investment income; a nonqualified annuity has its own field; rental real estate has rentalNetIncome, federal engine 2.1; partnerships, S corporations, estates and trusts the K-1 fields, federal engine 2.3)",

"The foreign earned income and housing exclusions (Form 2555) and the possession exclusions: MAGI is AGI throughout (the senior deduction, the NIIT, the SALT cap), and there is no Foreign Earned Income Tax Worksheet",
"A filer or spouse who can be claimed as someone's dependent (the limited standard deduction), a dual-status alien, the Social Security lump-sum election (Pub 915 worksheets 2 to 4), the Form 8815 savings-bond interest exclusion and the other Pub 915 line 5 exclusions, repayments of benefits, a child's income on the parent's return (Form 8814), lump-sum distribution averaging (Form 4972), the retired public safety officer insurance exclusion and a pension's exclusion ratio for after-tax contributions (the pension field is the taxable amount)",
"The senior deduction's valid-SSN condition is assumed met",
"Form 8606 line 4 (contributions made after the year end) and qualified disaster distributions and repayments (lines 15b, 15c, 25b); the carry-forward basis omits them",
"Planner IRMAA: the MAGI add-backs other than tax-exempt interest (the savings-bond interest exclusion, foreign earned income, possession income), the three-year-old return when the two-year-old one is not available, and a new determination after a life-changing event (Form SSA-44): the planner always uses the MAGI of two years earlier",
"Planner RMDs per owner and per account: employer plans are not figured separately from IRAs, and a spouse's own IRA is distributed on the spouse's age, start age and divisor only when the plan gives the spouse's share of the traditional balance (traditionalBalanceSpouse); otherwise the planner takes one RMD on the household's combined traditional balance at the primary owner's age",
"On Form 8960 Part II: foreign income tax and state or local property taxes attributable to net investment income (line 9b), miscellaneous investment expenses (line 9c), additional modifications (line 10) and the Form 4952 limit (investmentInterest is the deductible amount)",
"§72(q) beyond the 10% and its exceptions (federal engine 2.3): the recapture with interest of a series of substantially equal payments modified before 59½ or within 5 years (§72(q)(3)), the 5% rate on a deferred annuity under a pre-March 1, 1986 election, and a modified endowment contract's additional tax (§72(v)); the annuity's exclusion ratio (nonqualifiedAnnuity is the taxable part)",
"Substantially equal periodic payments from an employer plan, which §72(t)(3)(B) excepts only after the employee separates from service: seppDistribution is the IRA part, and the API refuses a seppDistribution that overlaps employerPlanDistribution",
"Rental real estate beyond Schedule E Part I as one net amount, and Schedule E Parts II-III beyond one net amount per class (federal engine 2.3): royalties, REMICs (Part IV), farm rental (Form 4835), the release of a suspended loss on a disposition (section 469(g)) or at death, the commercial revitalization deduction, the per-activity allocation of the unallowed loss within a class (Form 8582 worksheets: each class is one activity), depreciation (an input inside the net amount) and its recapture, the at-risk rules (Form 6198) and the partner and shareholder basis limits (sections 704(d), 1366(d); Forms 7203/7217: the K-1 amounts are entered after them), the excess business loss limitation of section 461(l) (refused above its threshold), publicly traded partnerships, self-charged interest, the Form 1041 K-1 box 14 code H adjustment of Form 8960 line 7, a net operating loss, the rental real estate safe harbor of the QBI deduction (Rev. Proc. 2019-38), the AMT refiguring of passive losses, and the real estate professional's net investment income safe harbor (Treas. Reg. section 1.1411-4(g)(7)); Form 1116 line 3e takes the positive rental net income as gross income",
"Inherited accounts beyond one account and one beneficiary: several beneficiaries of one account (the oldest's life expectancy, separate accounts) and trusts as beneficiaries (see-through trusts, applicable multi-beneficiary trusts) are the caller's to reduce to one beneficiary type; a successor beneficiary (the beneficiary of a beneficiary who died) and the 10-year limit after an eligible designated beneficiary's death; the surviving spouse's election to be treated as the decedent (SECURE 2.0 section 327), the spouse who dies before distributions begin, and the deemed election to treat the IRA as one's own; the decedent's basis (its own Form 8606) and a nonqualified distribution from an inherited Roth IRA; the 10-year election's deadline; the plan's own terms (a plan may require the 5-year or 10-year rule)",
"Form 8962 beyond Parts I-III for one tax family: the allocation of a policy shared with another tax family (Part IV), the alternative calculation for the year of marriage (Part V), a qualified small employer health reimbursement arrangement, a dependent's own Form 8962, the self-employed health insurance deduction together with the credit (refused), the special enrollment period and eligibility facts (other minimum essential coverage, affordable employer coverage, lawful presence; the caller's assertion), and a premium tax credit in a projected year (refused: the guidelines and percentages are not published)"

}A nonqualified annuity
An annuity bought outside a retirement plan is net investment income (Form 8960 line 3), unlike a pension: with MAGI over the threshold it pays the 3.8% NIIT.

"Royalty income, Schedule E Parts IV-V (REMICs, farm rental), Form 4797 gains, farm income and personal-property rental: no field carries them into the net investment income tax (otherOrdinaryIncome and pension are never net investment income; a nonqualified annuity has its own field; rental real estate has rentalNetIncome, federal engine 2.1; partnerships, S corporations, estates and trusts the K-1 fields, federal engine 2.3)",

"Planner RMDs per owner and per account: employer plans are not figured separately from IRAs, and a spouse's own IRA is distributed on the spouse's age, start age and divisor only when the plan gives the spouse's share of the traditional balance (traditionalBalanceSpouse); otherwise the planner takes one RMD on the household's combined traditional balance at the primary owner's age",

Reg. section 1.1411-4(g)(7)); Form 1116 line 3e takes the positive rental net income as gross income",
"Inherited accounts beyond one account and one beneficiary: several beneficiaries of one account (the oldest's life expectancy, separate accounts) and trusts as beneficiaries (see-through trusts, applicable multi-beneficiary trusts) are the caller's to reduce to one beneficiary type; a successor beneficiary (the beneficiary of a beneficiary who died) and the 10-year limit after an eligible designated beneficiary's death; the surviving spouse's election to be treated as the decedent (SECURE 2.0 section 327), the spouse who dies before distributions begin, and the deemed election to treat the IRA as one's own; the decedent's basis (its own Form 8606) and a nonqualified distribution from an inherited Roth IRA; the 10-year election's deadline; the plan's own terms (a plan may require the 5-year or 10-year rule)",

"Royalty income, Schedule E Parts IV-V (REMICs, farm rental), Form 4797 gains, farm income and personal-property rental: no field carries them into the net investment income tax (otherOrdinaryIncome and pension are never net investment income; a nonqualified annuity has its own field; rental real estate has rentalNetIncome, federal engine 2.1; partnerships, S corporations, estates and trusts the K-1 fields, federal engine 2.3)",

"Planner RMDs per owner and per account: employer plans are not figured separately from IRAs, and a spouse's own IRA is distributed on the spouse's age, start age and divisor only when the plan gives the spouse's share of the traditional balance (traditionalBalanceSpouse); otherwise the planner takes one RMD on the household's combined traditional balance at the primary owner's age",
"On Form 8960 Part II: foreign income tax and state or local property taxes attributable to net investment income (line 9b), miscellaneous investment expenses (line 9c), additional modifications (line 10) and the Form 4952 limit (investmentInterest is the deductible amount)",

"Substantially equal periodic payments from an employer plan, which §72(t)(3)(B) excepts only after the employee separates from service: seppDistribution is the IRA part, and the API refuses a seppDistribution that overlaps employerPlanDistribution",
"Rental real estate beyond Schedule E Part I as one net amount, and Schedule E Parts II-III beyond one net amount per class (federal engine 2.3): royalties, REMICs (Part IV), farm rental (Form 4835), the release of a suspended loss on a disposition (section 469(g)) or at death, the commercial revitalization deduction, the per-activity allocation of the unallowed loss within a class (Form 8582 worksheets: each class is one activity), depreciation (an input inside the net amount) and its recapture, the at-risk rules (Form 6198) and the partner and shareholder basis limits (sections 704(d), 1366(d); Forms 7203/7217: the K-1 amounts are entered after them), the excess business loss limitation of section 461(l) (refused above its threshold), publicly traded partnerships, self-charged interest, the Form 1041 K-1 box 14 code H adjustment of Form 8960 line 7, a net operating loss, the rental real estate safe harbor of the QBI deduction (Rev. Proc. 2019-38), the AMT refiguring of passive losses, and the real estate professional's net investment income safe harbor (Treas. Reg. section 1.1411-4(g)(7)); Form 1116 line 3e takes the positive rental net income as gross income",
"Inherited accounts beyond one account and one beneficiary: several beneficiaries of one account (the oldest's life expectancy, separate accounts) and trusts as beneficiaries (see-through trusts, applicable multi-beneficiary trusts) are the caller's to reduce to one beneficiary type; a successor beneficiary (the beneficiary of a beneficiary who died) and the 10-year limit after an eligible designated beneficiary's death; the surviving spouse's election to be treated as the decedent (SECURE 2.0 section 327), the spouse who dies before distributions begin, and the deemed election to treat the IRA as one's own; the decedent's basis (its own Form 8606) and a nonqualified distribution from an inherited Roth IRA; the 10-year election's deadline; the plan's own terms (a plan may require the 5-year or 10-year rule)",

"Form 4952 investment-interest elections (the Schedule D Tax Worksheet lines 3 to 5 and 8, and the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet's line 3); qualified dividends are taken to meet the holding-period test (more than 60 days in the 121-day period around the ex-dividend date, IRS Pub 550)",

"The calculation of substantially equal periodic payments (the installment is an input), the other §72(t)(2) exceptions (first home, medical, birth or adoption, emergency, domestic abuse, terminal illness), the further Form 5329 exceptions (a qualified domestic relations order, health insurance while unemployed, higher education, an IRS levy, reservists, ESOP dividends, federal phased retirement, §414(w) and corrective distributions), the 25-years-of-service alternative to separation at 50, the 25% rate on a SIMPLE IRA distribution in its first 2 years (the engine uses 10%), and first-home or death Roth distributions",

"Schedule 2 taxes other than the §72(t) additional tax (and, federal engine 2.3, the §72(q) one and Form 5329's 6% and 100% taxes), the §4974 missed-RMD excise and the net investment income tax: household employment taxes, the HSA, Archer MSA and other account additional taxes, credit recaptures, the deferred-compensation (§409A, §457A) and installment-sale interest taxes, and the rest of Schedule 2",

"Royalty income, Schedule E Parts IV-V (REMICs, farm rental), Form 4797 gains, farm income and personal-property rental: no field carries them into the net investment income tax (otherOrdinaryIncome and pension are never net investment income; a nonqualified annuity has its own field; rental real estate has rentalNetIncome, federal engine 2.1; partnerships, S corporations, estates and trusts the K-1 fields, federal engine 2.3)",

"The foreign earned income and housing exclusions (Form 2555) and the possession exclusions: MAGI is AGI throughout (the senior deduction, the NIIT, the SALT cap), and there is no Foreign Earned Income Tax Worksheet",
"A filer or spouse who can be claimed as someone's dependent (the limited standard deduction), a dual-status alien, the Social Security lump-sum election (Pub 915 worksheets 2 to 4), the Form 8815 savings-bond interest exclusion and the other Pub 915 line 5 exclusions, repayments of benefits, a child's income on the parent's return (Form 8814), lump-sum distribution averaging (Form 4972), the retired public safety officer insurance exclusion and a pension's exclusion ratio for after-tax contributions (the pension field is the taxable amount)",

"Planner RMDs per owner and per account: employer plans are not figured separately from IRAs, and a spouse's own IRA is distributed on the spouse's age, start age and divisor only when the plan gives the spouse's share of the traditional balance (traditionalBalanceSpouse); otherwise the planner takes one RMD on the household's combined traditional balance at the primary owner's age",
"On Form 8960 Part II: foreign income tax and state or local property taxes attributable to net investment income (line 9b), miscellaneous investment expenses (line 9c), additional modifications (line 10) and the Form 4952 limit (investmentInterest is the deductible amount)",

"Substantially equal periodic payments from an employer plan, which §72(t)(3)(B) excepts only after the employee separates from service: seppDistribution is the IRA part, and the API refuses a seppDistribution that overlaps employerPlanDistribution",
"Rental real estate beyond Schedule E Part I as one net amount, and Schedule E Parts II-III beyond one net amount per class (federal engine 2.3): royalties, REMICs (Part IV), farm rental (Form 4835), the release of a suspended loss on a disposition (section 469(g)) or at death, the commercial revitalization deduction, the per-activity allocation of the unallowed loss within a class (Form 8582 worksheets: each class is one activity), depreciation (an input inside the net amount) and its recapture, the at-risk rules (Form 6198) and the partner and shareholder basis limits (sections 704(d), 1366(d); Forms 7203/7217: the K-1 amounts are entered after them), the excess business loss limitation of section 461(l) (refused above its threshold), publicly traded partnerships, self-charged interest, the Form 1041 K-1 box 14 code H adjustment of Form 8960 line 7, a net operating loss, the rental real estate safe harbor of the QBI deduction (Rev. Proc. 2019-38), the AMT refiguring of passive losses, and the real estate professional's net investment income safe harbor (Treas. Reg. section 1.1411-4(g)(7)); Form 1116 line 3e takes the positive rental net income as gross income",
"Inherited accounts beyond one account and one beneficiary: several beneficiaries of one account (the oldest's life expectancy, separate accounts) and trusts as beneficiaries (see-through trusts, applicable multi-beneficiary trusts) are the caller's to reduce to one beneficiary type; a successor beneficiary (the beneficiary of a beneficiary who died) and the 10-year limit after an eligible designated beneficiary's death; the surviving spouse's election to be treated as the decedent (SECURE 2.0 section 327), the spouse who dies before distributions begin, and the deemed election to treat the IRA as one's own; the decedent's basis (its own Form 8606) and a nonqualified distribution from an inherited Roth IRA; the 10-year election's deadline; the plan's own terms (a plan may require the 5-year or 10-year rule)",
"Form 8962 beyond Parts I-III for one tax family: the allocation of a policy shared with another tax family (Part IV), the alternative calculation for the year of marriage (Part V), a qualified small employer health reimbursement arrangement, a dependent's own Form 8962, the self-employed health insurance deduction together with the credit (refused), the special enrollment period and eligibility facts (other minimum essential coverage, affordable employer coverage, lawful presence; the caller's assertion), and a premium tax credit in a projected year (refused: the guidelines and percentages are not published)"

}An early retiree on a marketplace plan
A single 60-year-old with a pension and IRA withdrawals, covered all year by a marketplace plan with advance payments: Form 8962 figures the credit on the year's household income (255% of the poverty line, applicable figure 8.59%), and the advance payments exceed it, so the excess is repaid on Schedule 2 line 1a in full (no repayment limitation from 2026).

"Wages and self-employment beyond the W-2 and Schedule C amounts the API takes: farm income and the optional methods of Schedule SE, church employee income, railroad retirement (RRTA) compensation, unreported tips (Form 4137) and uncollected FICA (Form 8919), statutory employees; the QBI deduction's REIT dividends, publicly traded partnership income, qualified business loss carryforwards in and the agricultural cooperative (patron) reduction; every business is taken as one the filer materially participates in",
"Form 4952 investment-interest elections (the Schedule D Tax Worksheet lines 3 to 5 and 8, and the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet's line 3); qualified dividends are taken to meet the holding-period test (more than 60 days in the 121-day period around the ex-dividend date, IRS Pub 550)",
"Credits other than the foreign tax credit, the credit for the elderly or disabled, the saver's credit, the child tax credit and credit for other dependents and the earned income credit: child and dependent care, education, energy and vehicle credits, the adoption credit, the general business credit, the prior-year minimum tax credit (Form 8801); the dependency, relationship, residency, identification-number and student tests of the credits are the caller's assertion; the EIC of a filer with foreign earned income, the Schedule 8812 Puerto Rico rules and nontaxable combat pay",
"Foreign tax credit and AMT limits: foreign income other than passive fund income (the general, section 901(j), treaty and lump-sum categories, foreign 25%/28% gains, Form 2555), interest expense apportionment (Form 1116 lines 4a-4b), foreign tax reductions and the high-tax kickout (lines 12-13), the carryback and reading back a carryover out, the AMT refiguring of capital gains and of Form 4952 (lines 2c and Part III) and the Form 6251 adjustments beyond private-activity-bond interest, incentive stock options and the caller's disposition and other adjustments",
"Adjustments to income (Schedule 1 Part II) other than the deductible part of self-employment tax, the self-employed retirement plan deduction and the self-employed health insurance deduction (lines 15-17); the Schedule 1-A car-loan interest deduction; the tips and overtime deductions' valid-SSN and qualifying-occupation conditions are the caller's assertion",
"Private-foundation gift limits (and their carryover classes), the 0.5% floor on carryovers into 2026 and later as the IRS may read it (the engine applies it to the total, carryovers included), non-cash gifts other than long-term capital-gain property (ordinary-income property and the §170(e) reduction), and the §163(h)(3) mortgage-debt limit (mortgage interest is taken as a deductible amount); casualty and theft losses (Schedule A line 15, Form 4684); other itemized deductions (line 16) are taken as already limited (gambling losses up to winnings)",
"The calculation of substantially equal periodic payments (the installment is an input), the other §72(t)(2) exceptions (first home, medical, birth or adoption, emergency, domestic abuse, terminal illness), the further Form 5329 exceptions (a qualified domestic relations order, health insurance while unemployed, higher education, an IRS levy, reservists, ESOP dividends, federal phased retirement, §414(w) and corrective distributions), the 25-years-of-service alternative to separation at 50, the 25% rate on a SIMPLE IRA distribution in its first 2 years (the engine uses 10%), and first-home or death Roth distributions",
"The §4974(d) reasonable-cause waiver of the missed-RMD excise and the still-working exception for an employer plan; one request carries one excise rate (a shortfall partly corrected and partly not cannot be sent at once)",
"Form 2210's penalty waivers and the farmer and fisherman rules, Part II box E (a joint return in only one of the two years), Schedule AI for estates and trusts, and Schedule AI's period amounts of the items a request cannot split by period (Schedule A amounts, the AMT preference items, the credits' inputs and the rest accrue evenly through the year); the Schedule AI NIIT and Additional Medicare Tax are figured on the annualized amounts (the instructions give no other rule)",
"A qualifying surviving spouse's eligibility (the year of death, the dependent child) is the caller's assertion; the split-interest QCD is an engine function, not a request field",
"A spouse's death on a single return: the capital-loss carryover out is the joint return's; the decedent's share does not pass to the survivor (IRS Pub 550), so the caller enters the survivor's share as next year's carryover (the Monte Carlo planner splits it: spouseCapitalLossShare)",
"The balance due: withholding and estimated payments (read only by Form 2210), refundable credits (the earned income credit, the additional child tax credit, the refundable American opportunity credit, and the other Schedule 3 Part II items; excess social security withheld, Schedule 3 line 11, is reported but not netted), the refund and the amount owed (Form 1040 lines 25 to 37). The engine computes the total tax (line 24) and, on request, the Form 2210 penalty (line 38)",
"Schedule 2 taxes other than the §72(t) additional tax (and, federal engine 2.3, the §72(q) one and Form 5329's 6% and 100% taxes), the §4974 missed-RMD excise and the net investment income tax: household employment taxes, the HSA, Archer MSA and other account additional taxes, credit recaptures, the deferred-compensation (§409A, §457A) and installment-sale interest taxes, and the rest of Schedule 2",
"Form 5329 Part II (the additional tax on Coverdell ESA, QTP and ABLE account distributions), and around Parts III-VIII (federal engine 2.3): the deemed contribution of a prior excess absorbed by this year's unused limit (the IRA Deduction Worksheet, Form 8889 line 13: the engine has no traditional IRA or HSA deduction), Form 8889 itself (the HSA deduction, the 20% on distributions not used for medical expenses), the contributors' Coverdell MAGI limits, the Archer MSA limit and the ABLE-to-work amount (the caller's limits), a spouse's Coverdell ESA, Archer MSA, ABLE or Trump account, the 2025 Trump account excess (0 for 2026) and the excess-contribution limits of a projected year (refused)",
"Royalty income, Schedule E Parts IV-V (REMICs, farm rental), Form 4797 gains, farm income and personal-property rental: no field carries them into the net investment income tax (otherOrdinaryIncome and pension are never net investment income; a nonqualified annuity has its own field; rental real estate has rentalNetIncome, federal engine 2.1; partnerships, S corporations, estates and trusts the K-1 fields, federal engine 2.3)",
"Other Schedule 1 income items with their own rules: the net operating loss deduction, hobby income, §951/§951A inclusions, the §461(l) excess business loss adjustment and digital assets received as ordinary income",
"The foreign earned income and housing exclusions (Form 2555) and the possession exclusions: MAGI is AGI throughout (the senior deduction, the NIIT, the SALT cap), and there is no Foreign Earned Income Tax Worksheet",
"A filer or spouse who can be claimed as someone's dependent (the limited standard deduction), a dual-status alien, the Social Security lump-sum election (Pub 915 worksheets 2 to 4), the Form 8815 savings-bond interest exclusion and the other Pub 915 line 5 exclusions, repayments of benefits, a child's income on the parent's return (Form 8814), lump-sum distribution averaging (Form 4972), the retired public safety officer insurance exclusion and a pension's exclusion ratio for after-tax contributions (the pension field is the taxable amount)",
"The senior deduction's valid-SSN condition is assumed met",
"Form 8606 line 4 (contributions made after the year end) and qualified disaster distributions and repayments (lines 15b, 15c, 25b); the carry-forward basis omits them",
"Planner IRMAA: the MAGI add-backs other than tax-exempt interest (the savings-bond interest exclusion, foreign earned income, possession income), the three-year-old return when the two-year-old one is not available, and a new determination after a life-changing event (Form SSA-44): the planner always uses the MAGI of two years earlier",
"Planner RMDs per owner and per account: employer plans are not figured separately from IRAs, and a spouse's own IRA is distributed on the spouse's age, start age and divisor only when the plan gives the spouse's share of the traditional balance (traditionalBalanceSpouse); otherwise the planner takes one RMD on the household's combined traditional balance at the primary owner's age",
"On Form 8960 Part II: foreign income tax and state or local property taxes attributable to net investment income (line 9b), miscellaneous investment expenses (line 9c), additional modifications (line 10) and the Form 4952 limit (investmentInterest is the deductible amount)",
"§72(q) beyond the 10% and its exceptions (federal engine 2.3): the recapture with interest of a series of substantially equal payments modified before 59½ or within 5 years (§72(q)(3)), the 5% rate on a deferred annuity under a pre-March 1, 1986 election, and a modified endowment contract's additional tax (§72(v)); the annuity's exclusion ratio (nonqualifiedAnnuity is the taxable part)",
"Substantially equal periodic payments from an employer plan, which §72(t)(3)(B) excepts only after the employee separates from service: seppDistribution is the IRA part, and the API refuses a seppDistribution that overlaps employerPlanDistribution",
"Rental real estate beyond Schedule E Part I as one net amount, and Schedule E Parts II-III beyond one net amount per class (federal engine 2.3): royalties, REMICs (Part IV), farm rental (Form 4835), the release of a suspended loss on a disposition (section 469(g)) or at death, the commercial revitalization deduction, the per-activity allocation of the unallowed loss within a class (Form 8582 worksheets: each class is one activity), depreciation (an input inside the net amount) and its recapture, the at-risk rules (Form 6198) and the partner and shareholder basis limits (sections 704(d), 1366(d); Forms 7203/7217: the K-1 amounts are entered after them), the excess business loss limitation of section 461(l) (refused above its threshold), publicly traded partnerships, self-charged interest, the Form 1041 K-1 box 14 code H adjustment of Form 8960 line 7, a net operating loss, the rental real estate safe harbor of the QBI deduction (Rev. Proc. 2019-38), the AMT refiguring of passive losses, and the real estate professional's net investment income safe harbor (Treas. Reg. section 1.1411-4(g)(7)); Form 1116 line 3e takes the positive rental net income as gross income",
"Inherited accounts beyond one account and one beneficiary: several beneficiaries of one account (the oldest's life expectancy, separate accounts) and trusts as beneficiaries (see-through trusts, applicable multi-beneficiary trusts) are the caller's to reduce to one beneficiary type; a successor beneficiary (the beneficiary of a beneficiary who died) and the 10-year limit after an eligible designated beneficiary's death; the surviving spouse's election to be treated as the decedent (SECURE 2.0 section 327), the spouse who dies before distributions begin, and the deemed election to treat the IRA as one's own; the decedent's basis (its own Form 8606) and a nonqualified distribution from an inherited Roth IRA; the 10-year election's deadline; the plan's own terms (a plan may require the 5-year or 10-year rule)",
"Form 8962 beyond Parts I-III for one tax family: the allocation of a policy shared with another tax family (Part IV), the alternative calculation for the year of marriage (Part V), a qualified small employer health reimbursement arrangement, a dependent's own Form 8962, the self-employed health insurance deduction together with the credit (refused), the special enrollment period and eligibility facts (other minimum essential coverage, affordable employer coverage, lawful presence; the caller's assertion), and a premium tax credit in a projected year (refused: the guidelines and percentages are not published)"

}A general partner with a K-1 and a passive investment
A single 52-year-old general partner: $90,000 of nonpassive partnership income with $90,000 of self-employment earnings (box 14 code A) and the same amount of qualified business income, plus a passive K-1 loss of $15,000 that Form 8582 carries forward (no passive income to absorb it). The partner's SE tax and the QBI deduction are on the return; the passive loss is not.

}A Roth IRA contribution over the income limit
A single 40-year-old with $161,234 of wages contributes the full $7,500 to a Roth IRA. Her MAGI is $8,234 into the $15,000 phase-out range, so Pub 590-A Worksheet 2-2 cuts her limit to $3,390 (rounded up to $10); the $4,110 excess draws the 6% tax ($246.60) on Form 5329 Part IV unless she withdraws it by the due date.

"Wages and self-employment beyond the W-2 and Schedule C amounts the API takes: farm income and the optional methods of Schedule SE, church employee income, railroad retirement (RRTA) compensation, unreported tips (Form 4137) and uncollected FICA (Form 8919), statutory employees; the QBI deduction's REIT dividends, publicly traded partnership income, qualified business loss carryforwards in and the agricultural cooperative (patron) reduction; every business is taken as one the filer materially participates in",
"Form 4952 investment-interest elections (the Schedule D Tax Worksheet lines 3 to 5 and 8, and the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet's line 3); qualified dividends are taken to meet the holding-period test (more than 60 days in the 121-day period around the ex-dividend date, IRS Pub 550)",
"Credits other than the foreign tax credit, the credit for the elderly or disabled, the saver's credit, the child tax credit and credit for other dependents and the earned income credit: child and dependent care, education, energy and vehicle credits, the adoption credit, the general business credit, the prior-year minimum tax credit (Form 8801); the dependency, relationship, residency, identification-number and student tests of the credits are the caller's assertion; the EIC of a filer with foreign earned income, the Schedule 8812 Puerto Rico rules and nontaxable combat pay",
"Foreign tax credit and AMT limits: foreign income other than passive fund income (the general, section 901(j), treaty and lump-sum categories, foreign 25%/28% gains, Form 2555), interest expense apportionment (Form 1116 lines 4a-4b), foreign tax reductions and the high-tax kickout (lines 12-13), the carryback and reading back a carryover out, the AMT refiguring of capital gains and of Form 4952 (lines 2c and Part III) and the Form 6251 adjustments beyond private-activity-bond interest, incentive stock options and the caller's disposition and other adjustments",
"Adjustments to income (Schedule 1 Part II) other than the deductible part of self-employment tax, the self-employed retirement plan deduction and the self-employed health insurance deduction (lines 15-17); the Schedule 1-A car-loan interest deduction; the tips and overtime deductions' valid-SSN and qualifying-occupation conditions are the caller's assertion",
"Private-foundation gift limits (and their carryover classes), the 0.5% floor on carryovers into 2026 and later as the IRS may read it (the engine applies it to the total, carryovers included), non-cash gifts other than long-term capital-gain property (ordinary-income property and the §170(e) reduction), and the §163(h)(3) mortgage-debt limit (mortgage interest is taken as a deductible amount); casualty and theft losses (Schedule A line 15, Form 4684); other itemized deductions (line 16) are taken as already limited (gambling losses up to winnings)",
"The calculation of substantially equal periodic payments (the installment is an input), the other §72(t)(2) exceptions (first home, medical, birth or adoption, emergency, domestic abuse, terminal illness), the further Form 5329 exceptions (a qualified domestic relations order, health insurance while unemployed, higher education, an IRS levy, reservists, ESOP dividends, federal phased retirement, §414(w) and corrective distributions), the 25-years-of-service alternative to separation at 50, the 25% rate on a SIMPLE IRA distribution in its first 2 years (the engine uses 10%), and first-home or death Roth distributions",
"The §4974(d) reasonable-cause waiver of the missed-RMD excise and the still-working exception for an employer plan; one request carries one excise rate (a shortfall partly corrected and partly not cannot be sent at once)",
"Form 2210's penalty waivers and the farmer and fisherman rules, Part II box E (a joint return in only one of the two years), Schedule AI for estates and trusts, and Schedule AI's period amounts of the items a request cannot split by period (Schedule A amounts, the AMT preference items, the credits' inputs and the rest accrue evenly through the year); the Schedule AI NIIT and Additional Medicare Tax are figured on the annualized amounts (the instructions give no other rule)",
"A qualifying surviving spouse's eligibility (the year of death, the dependent child) is the caller's assertion; the split-interest QCD is an engine function, not a request field",
"A spouse's death on a single return: the capital-loss carryover out is the joint return's; the decedent's share does not pass to the survivor (IRS Pub 550), so the caller enters the survivor's share as next year's carryover (the Monte Carlo planner splits it: spouseCapitalLossShare)",
"The balance due: withholding and estimated payments (read only by Form 2210), refundable credits (the earned income credit, the additional child tax credit, the refundable American opportunity credit, and the other Schedule 3 Part II items; excess social security withheld, Schedule 3 line 11, is reported but not netted), the refund and the amount owed (Form 1040 lines 25 to 37). The engine computes the total tax (line 24) and, on request, the Form 2210 penalty (line 38)",
"Schedule 2 taxes other than the §72(t) additional tax (and, federal engine 2.3, the §72(q) one and Form 5329's 6% and 100% taxes), the §4974 missed-RMD excise and the net investment income tax: household employment taxes, the HSA, Archer MSA and other account additional taxes, credit recaptures, the deferred-compensation (§409A, §457A) and installment-sale interest taxes, and the rest of Schedule 2",
"Form 5329 Part II (the additional tax on Coverdell ESA, QTP and ABLE account distributions), and around Parts III-VIII (federal engine 2.3): the deemed contribution of a prior excess absorbed by this year's unused limit (the IRA Deduction Worksheet, Form 8889 line 13: the engine has no traditional IRA or HSA deduction), Form 8889 itself (the HSA deduction, the 20% on distributions not used for medical expenses), the contributors' Coverdell MAGI limits, the Archer MSA limit and the ABLE-to-work amount (the caller's limits), a spouse's Coverdell ESA, Archer MSA, ABLE or Trump account, the 2025 Trump account excess (0 for 2026) and the excess-contribution limits of a projected year (refused)",
"Royalty income, Schedule E Parts IV-V (REMICs, farm rental), Form 4797 gains, farm income and personal-property rental: no field carries them into the net investment income tax (otherOrdinaryIncome and pension are never net investment income; a nonqualified annuity has its own field; rental real estate has rentalNetIncome, federal engine 2.1; partnerships, S corporations, estates and trusts the K-1 fields, federal engine 2.3)",
"Other Schedule 1 income items with their own rules: the net operating loss deduction, hobby income, §951/§951A inclusions, the §461(l) excess business loss adjustment and digital assets received as ordinary income",
"The foreign earned income and housing exclusions (Form 2555) and the possession exclusions: MAGI is AGI throughout (the senior deduction, the NIIT, the SALT cap), and there is no Foreign Earned Income Tax Worksheet",
"A filer or spouse who can be claimed as someone's dependent (the limited standard deduction), a dual-status alien, the Social Security lump-sum election (Pub 915 worksheets 2 to 4), the Form 8815 savings-bond interest exclusion and the other Pub 915 line 5 exclusions, repayments of benefits, a child's income on the parent's return (Form 8814), lump-sum distribution averaging (Form 4972), the retired public safety officer insurance exclusion and a pension's exclusion ratio for after-tax contributions (the pension field is the taxable amount)",
"The senior deduction's valid-SSN condition is assumed met",
"Form 8606 line 4 (contributions made after the year end) and qualified disaster distributions and repayments (lines 15b, 15c, 25b); the carry-forward basis omits them",
"Planner IRMAA: the MAGI add-backs other than tax-exempt interest (the savings-bond interest exclusion, foreign earned income, possession income), the three-year-old return when the two-year-old one is not available, and a new determination after a life-changing event (Form SSA-44): the planner always uses the MAGI of two years earlier",
"Planner RMDs per owner and per account: employer plans are not figured separately from IRAs, and a spouse's own IRA is distributed on the spouse's age, start age and divisor only when the plan gives the spouse's share of the traditional balance (traditionalBalanceSpouse); otherwise the planner takes one RMD on the household's combined traditional balance at the primary owner's age",
"On Form 8960 Part II: foreign income tax and state or local property taxes attributable to net investment income (line 9b), miscellaneous investment expenses (line 9c), additional modifications (line 10) and the Form 4952 limit (investmentInterest is the deductible amount)",
"§72(q) beyond the 10% and its exceptions (federal engine 2.3): the recapture with interest of a series of substantially equal payments modified before 59½ or within 5 years (§72(q)(3)), the 5% rate on a deferred annuity under a pre-March 1, 1986 election, and a modified endowment contract's additional tax (§72(v)); the annuity's exclusion ratio (nonqualifiedAnnuity is the taxable part)",
"Substantially equal periodic payments from an employer plan, which §72(t)(3)(B) excepts only after the employee separates from service: seppDistribution is the IRA part, and the API refuses a seppDistribution that overlaps employerPlanDistribution",
"Rental real estate beyond Schedule E Part I as one net amount, and Schedule E Parts II-III beyond one net amount per class (federal engine 2.3): royalties, REMICs (Part IV), farm rental (Form 4835), the release of a suspended loss on a disposition (section 469(g)) or at death, the commercial revitalization deduction, the per-activity allocation of the unallowed loss within a class (Form 8582 worksheets: each class is one activity), depreciation (an input inside the net amount) and its recapture, the at-risk rules (Form 6198) and the partner and shareholder basis limits (sections 704(d), 1366(d); Forms 7203/7217: the K-1 amounts are entered after them), the excess business loss limitation of section 461(l) (refused above its threshold), publicly traded partnerships, self-charged interest, the Form 1041 K-1 box 14 code H adjustment of Form 8960 line 7, a net operating loss, the rental real estate safe harbor of the QBI deduction (Rev. Proc. 2019-38), the AMT refiguring of passive losses, and the real estate professional's net investment income safe harbor (Treas. Reg. section 1.1411-4(g)(7)); Form 1116 line 3e takes the positive rental net income as gross income",
"Inherited accounts beyond one account and one beneficiary: several beneficiaries of one account (the oldest's life expectancy, separate accounts) and trusts as beneficiaries (see-through trusts, applicable multi-beneficiary trusts) are the caller's to reduce to one beneficiary type; a successor beneficiary (the beneficiary of a beneficiary who died) and the 10-year limit after an eligible designated beneficiary's death; the surviving spouse's election to be treated as the decedent (SECURE 2.0 section 327), the spouse who dies before distributions begin, and the deemed election to treat the IRA as one's own; the decedent's basis (its own Form 8606) and a nonqualified distribution from an inherited Roth IRA; the 10-year election's deadline; the plan's own terms (a plan may require the 5-year or 10-year rule)",
"Form 8962 beyond Parts I-III for one tax family: the allocation of a policy shared with another tax family (Part IV), the alternative calculation for the year of marriage (Part V), a qualified small employer health reimbursement arrangement, a dependent's own Form 8962, the self-employed health insurance deduction together with the credit (refused), the special enrollment period and eligibility facts (other minimum essential coverage, affordable employer coverage, lawful presence; the caller's assertion), and a premium tax credit in a projected year (refused: the guidelines and percentages are not published)"

}computeFederal on the state API
true: the federal inputs come from QuantCalc's federal engine instead of from the request. It builds one federal return from this request (wages, self-employment income, IRA and employer-plan distributions, pensions including Railroad Retirement Tier 2, Roth conversions, gains, gross Social Security, the ages) and hands the state engine what the planner hands it: socialSecurity (the taxable part), federalTax and federalTaxBeforeCredits (the income tax without the NIIT; the federal engine models no credits), federalNiit, federalRefundableCredits 0, and federal taxable income for the states whose base starts from it. The response gains a federal object with the federal return. blind (the filer, and the spouse on a joint return) adds the federal §63(f) amount for blindness, and filingStatus qss is priced on the federal joint tables for a qualifying surviving spouse. ordinaryIncome goes on federal Form 1040 line 2b (interest and non-qualified dividends) and qualifiedDividends on lines 3a and 3b, with their share of the NIIT and the capital-gains worksheet. Each person's wages are one W-2 from one employer (boxes 1, 3 and 5 the same, box 3 at most the social security wage base) with the employer's social security and Medicare withholding, including the additional Medicare withholding (federal engine 2.0); selfEmploymentIncome is the person's Schedule C net profit (Schedule SE, the deduction for half the self-employment tax, the qualified business income deduction), and the state engine receives each person's wages plus that profit less half the person's self-employment tax. The self-employment tax and the Additional Medicare Tax are not income tax: federalTax stays the income tax without them. A request with anything the federal engine does not model (disabilityIncome, earlyDistributions or earlyDistributionException, iraBasis, disabled, dependents, a separate filer's spouse.blind), or with its own socialSecurity or federal figures, is refused with 400. The embeddable library answers it the same way from library 1.6 (its default build carries the federal engine); a state-only build of the library ignores it. Federal engine reference: /docs/federal-tax/. With projection, the federal return is the federal engine's projection of the same year, with the same factor and indexing (federal engine 2.0), and the federal object carries rulesYear, projectedYear, projected and the federal projection block.
Its refusals are listed in the state API reference; the example above shows a response.
Metadata endpoints
Public, no key: GET /api/federal-tax/rules returns every calculation step in order with its lines, every source with all
its checked quotes, the engine's 2026 parameters for each filing status (read from the engine) and what it does not model
(download). GET /api/federal-tax/schema returns the JSON Schema of the
request, the response and the error, generated from the parser's own field table
(download; 484 request keys
including their snake_case spellings).
