How to Get the Best Results
Include details about: your employment type (W-2, 1099, self-employed), whether you work from home, your state of residence, whether you own or rent, any major medical expenses, whether you use a car for work, and whether you pay your own health insurance. The more specific your description, the better the match.
How the Matching Works
You describe your situation the way you’d explain it to a friend. The tool compares the details you mention against a defined set of deduction categories and surfaces the ones likely to apply — rather than making you guess which ones to search for first. It’s a starting point for research, not a substitute for filing software or a tax professional. Confirm eligibility details before claiming anything on your return.
