Compute the COMPLETE Form 1040 bottom-line set in one call — the 17 lines that determine the return (1a, 9, 10, 11, 12e, 15, 16, 17 AMT, 19, 22, 23, 24, 25d, 27a, 28, 32, 33, 34/37), each whole-dollar rounded by the engine. Takes the SAME input as calculate_tax (prefer the documents block: transcribe W-2/1099-R/SSA-1099 boxes and dependent birth dates — SSA-1099s are first-class, box 5 and box 6 are summed for you; the tool derives ages, classifications, Part IV withholding, and penalties deterministically). Never assemble return lines by hand — this tool is the return. TRANSCRIPTION CONVENTIONS: (1) a PRIOR-YEAR Form 1040 in the file supplies CONTINUING conditions the current-year interview omits — the 'Someone can claim: You as a dependent' checkbox and the blindness boxes carry forward unless the current-year data contradicts them; (2) COMMUNITY PROPERTY: do NOT split income 50/50 between MFS spouses when they lived apart all year with no transfers (§ 66(a) allocates earned income to the earner) or when a written separation agreement ended the community — transcribe each document to its named earner; never invent a Form 8958 split the intake does not request; (3) bonus depreciation for assets placed in service 1/1-1/19/2025 is 40% (§ 168(k) pre-OBBBA phase-down; 100% only for property ACQUIRED after 1/19/2025).
