When would I change my tax level?

To determine your tax level, we use your self-reported tax filing status, household income, and state of residence and apply the standard deduction. If you believe you should be in a different tax level, you can edit your portfolio or change your tax level at any time. Some reasons you may want to change your tax level include:

  • You itemize large deductions
  • You earn significant income in multiple states
  • You file taxes in a state that’s different than your residential address
  • Your tax situation differs for any other reason

You can determine which portfolio tax level is best for you by reviewing the tax grids in our white paper. Or, while you are manually editing your tax level, you can compare your taxable income to the after-deduction income ranges listed in each portfolio tax level. (Taxable income is adjusted gross income minus deductions, and can be found in form 1040.)
