2011 INCOME TAX CALCULATOR
Updated August 30th, 2010

Fill out the left-hand column and click Calculate to estimate your 2011 income tax under various scenarios:
(1) Congress allows all of the Bush tax cuts to expire;
(2) Congress acts to extend into 2011 all of the Bush tax cuts (the position of most congressional Republicans);
(3) Congress passes the tax laws suggested in President Obama's budget, letting cuts expire for families making over $250,000 a year (and singles making over $200,000), as well as extending some stimulus measures and imposing new limitations on itemized deductions; and
(4) Congress passes the tax laws recently proposed by congressional Democrats, similar to the Obama plan, but without extending stimulus measures and with no additional limitations on itemized deductions.
