The range shown on this page is a general estimate built from common tax scenarios and the selections you made earlier. It is intentionally displayed as a range (not a fixed number) because refund outcomes typically vary based on details that are not collected in this quick flow. This step is designed to keep the experience simple and mobile-friendly while still giving you a meaningful reference point before moving forward.
Refund estimates are often influenced by broad categories such as filing status, general income range, and common life situations like dependents, self-employment income, or investment-related activity. Even when two people appear similar on the surface, small differences in these categories can lead to different outcomes. That’s why this tool uses ranges: it helps avoid unrealistic precision, reduces confusion, and makes it easier to understand what may be possible in typical situations.
This estimate does not represent an approval, a guaranteed refund amount, or an official calculation. It is a practical preview meant to help you stay oriented in the process. The next step explains why this range may apply and what kinds of factors commonly push estimates higher or lower. Many users find that reviewing this explanation improves clarity and helps them compare filing paths or services more confidently, without relying on guesswork or exact figures too early in the process.
If you want, you can update your selections to see how different scenarios may change the range. You’re always in control of what you choose to review, and you can continue at your own pace.
