Terms of Service

My Tax Receipts is an educational tool that shows you, based on your stated salary and filing status, an approximate breakdown of where your federal tax dollars go. It uses published US government data from the IRS (tax brackets, payroll tax rates), OMB (federal spending by category), and USAspending.gov (top contract recipients).

This is not an official IRS or US Government tool. We have no affiliation with the federal government. The numbers we show are computational estimates, not your actual tax bill and not tax advice.

We try hard to be accurate. Tax bracket math is computed from published IRS Revenue Procedures. Spending data comes from OMB Historical Tables and CBO Monthly Budget Reviews; agency and contractor-level breakdowns are approximated from USAspending.gov and similar public sources.

That said, federal spending is enormous and complex. Many of our category- and recipient-level outlays are approximations rather than line-by-line audits. Numbers may shift as official data is finalized. Don’t use the Service to file taxes, make financial decisions, or settle a bar argument that costs more than the price of a coffee.

The Service is for information and curiosity, not professional advice. For your actual tax bill, consult the IRS or a qualified tax professional. For legal or financial advice, talk to an attorney or financial advisor.

The Service includes scenario calculators under What if? (marriage, salary changes, 401(k) contributions, and any scenarios added later). These are forward-looking estimates intended to illustrate the federal income-tax and FICA effect of a hypothetical change. They are not a complete tax projection and they do not produce a number you should rely on for any filing, financial-planning, or major-life decision.

Specifically, the calculators do not model:

• State or local income taxes.
• The Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT), the Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT), or the Additional Medicare Tax beyond a simple threshold check.
• Itemized deductions, the QBI deduction, the SALT cap, or phase-outs of credits and deductions.
• Catch-up 401(k) contributions, the SECURE 2.0 super catch-up, Roth-vs-traditional choices, after-tax contributions, or employer match.
• HSA or FSA contributions, dependent-care or child tax credits, education credits, or any other line-item credit or deduction outside the standard deduction.
• Self-employment tax, multiple jobs, equity compensation, or non-wage income (interest, dividends, capital gains, rental).
• Marriage scenarios assume both spouses file W-2 wage income only; community-property states are not specifically modeled.

The calculators use the most recent IRS published parameters we have wired up. Mid-year IRS adjustments, regulatory changes, and interpretation differences can shift the true number versus what we display. You are responsible for confirming any number with a qualified tax professional before acting on it.

Don’t do any of the following while using the Service:

• Attempt to break, probe, or overload the Service.
• Scrape data at high volume or otherwise use the Service in a way that disrupts it for others.
• Impersonate another person, including by setting your display name to someone else when sharing a receipt.
• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of applicable laws.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules.

You’re responsible for keeping your account credentials secure. Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access. You can delete your account at any time from the “Manage Account” menu; deletion removes your data from our systems (see the Privacy Policy for details).

The Service’s code, design, and content are ours (or licensed to us). Underlying tax and spending data come from US Government sources and are public-domain. The receipt URL you share is yours to share freely — feel free to post a tax-receipt link on social media or send it to a friend.

The Service is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind, express or implied — including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don’t warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that the displayed numbers are accurate to the dollar.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, My Tax Receipts and its operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your use of the Service. Our total liability for any direct damages is limited to the amount you’ve paid us in the preceding 12 months (which, if you’re a free user, is zero).

We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We may also update these terms; we’ll update the effective date at the top of this page when we do. For material changes that affect signed-in users, we’ll send a heads-up email.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes will be resolved in the state and federal courts located in Kentucky.
