Worked Example

Let's say you had a taxable income of $50,000 and deductions of $7,000 in 2014. Here's how the calculation would work:

  1. Taxable Income: $50,000
  2. Deductions: $7,000
  3. Taxable Income After Deductions: $43,000
  4. Tax Rate: 25% (for income between $37,450 and $90,750)
  5. Tax Liability: $43,000 × 25% = $10,750
  6. Estimated Refund: $0 (since tax liability exceeds tax withheld)

In this example, you would owe $10,750 in taxes and would not receive a refund.
