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 1.1.0, 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 (any case). A qualifying surviving spouse is not accepted yet (R6). How it is used. | The return's filing status: the brackets, the standard deduction, the thresholds. | One of the seven strings, any case; null = absent. Anything else: 400 naming the field. |
age | integer | yes | (none: 400) | The filer's age at the end of 2026. The §72(t) additional tax applies through the year the filer turns 59; the §63(f) aged amount and the senior deduction from the year the filer turns 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: the engine does not model those yet, and they would change the NIIT. 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. |
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.

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. |
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.

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.

}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). The engine enters 0 on line 7a: it does not yet deduct $3,000 of the loss against other income or carry the rest forward, so this return's tax is higher than the one the IRS would compute.

}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 (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. A request with anything the federal engine does not model (wages, ordinaryIncome, qualifiedDividends, disabilityIncome, earlyDistributions or earlyDistributionException, iraBasis, blind, disabled, dependents, qss), or with its own socialSecurity or federal figures, is refused with 400. POST /api/state-tax only: the embeddable library ignores it. Federal engine reference: /docs/federal-tax/.
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; 24 request keys
including their snake_case spellings).
Evaluation
The same key as the state tax API opens POST /api/federal-tax: a time-limited licence key (normally 30 days), checked on
every call. Use made-up or anonymised households. Limits: 120 requests a minute (30 in any ten seconds) per IP address, at our edge.
