IRS Interactive Tax Assistant: Get Answers to Common Tax Questions
Did you know the IRS offers a free online tool that can answer many common tax questions?
The IRS Interactive Tax Assistant (ITA) asks you a series of simple questions and provides answers based on your situation and current tax law.
The ITA can help you determine things like:
- Whether you need to file a tax return
- Your filing status
- Whether someone can claim you as a dependent
- If you qualify for certain tax credits
- Whether an expense is deductible
- If income is taxable
The tool is easy to use and available anytime, making it a great first stop for basic tax questions.
Keep in mind that the ITA is designed for general tax situations. If your circumstances involve a business, rental property, foreign income, retirement planning, or other complex issues, personalized tax advice is still the best option.
