The Federal Tax Desk Tools Are Live
Our tool kit (tools.federaltaxdesk.com) is live: eight calculators, free with your free subscription, each one built from the actual IRM or IRC section behind the number it gives you — not just an answer, the authority to back it up when a client or the IRS pushes back.
IRS Transcript Decoder — plain-English meaning for any transaction code, IRM citation included
CSED Calculator — collection statute expiration date, every tolling event correctly cited
Penalty Abatement Analyzer — First-Time Abate / Automatic Exemption eligibility, built for the new IR-2026-83 rule
Installment Agreement Payment Calculator — Streamlined, Guaranteed, and IBTF minimums
QBI / §199A Calculator — full flowchart, SSTB and wage-limitation included
SE Tax vs. S-Corp Comparison — net differential and break-even threshold
Reasonable Compensation Benchmarker — defensible range by profession and income
OIC Pre-Qualifier — the actual RCP formula the IRS runs, before you file Form 656
Every one of these exists because “I think the answer is X” isn’t good enough when someone pushes back. You need the citation, not just the number.
If you haven’t already subscribed, subscribe free and use all eight right now — plus get the next tool the moment it goes live, and the reasoning behind every calculation.
Sincerely,
Forrest
