Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

1. Data Confidentiality

Financial numbers, income data, and tax tracking parameters entered into the 1040 Deduction Calculator on this site remain completely confidential. All calculations are processed locally in your browser — nothing you type into the calculator is transmitted to a server, stored in a database, or logged by us in any form.

2. AdSense and Monetization

This site is monetized in part through Google AdSense and other third-party advertising vendors. These vendors may use cookies and similar technologies to display ads tailored to your interests based on your visit to this and other websites. You can manage, limit, or disable these cookies at any time in your browser settings, or through Google's Ads Settings.

3. Analytics

We may use standard web analytics tools to understand aggregate traffic patterns — which pages are read, how long visitors stay, and general geographic and device information. This data is used to improve site content and is not linked to the financial information entered into the calculator, which is never transmitted in the first place.

4. Third-Party Links

Our site may contain helpful outbound hyperlinks to IRS.gov and other official government or reference resources. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of external pages linked from this site.

5. Cookies

Beyond advertising cookies described above, this site may use minimal functional cookies or local browser storage to remember display preferences you set, such as font size. No personally identifiable financial information is ever stored this way.

6. Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or for legal and regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
