<p>Money's tax features can help you track tax-related transactions and plan throughout the year. You can see these features by selecting the Tax view of the Home page.</p>
<p>Use the Tax Estimator to project your tax liability for the current year. Money projects totals from your information so far, such as your wages, to estimate your tax liability for the year. You can see how much you can expect to owe or receive as a refund, and see how any major changes in your life could affect your taxes. It's a good idea to estimate your taxes several times during the year to avoid surprises at tax time, especially if your tax situation changes.</p>
