About TaxGrader

TaxGrader is a tax education platform that helps consumers understand their tax obligations using real government data. Every calculator, state tax guide, and deduction analysis on this site is backed by official IRS Statistics of Income data, Tax Foundation research, and Federal Reserve economic data.

Our Mission

Taxes are complicated, but understanding them does not have to be. We believe every taxpayer deserves access to clear, accurate, data-driven tax information, presented in plain language.

Data-First Approach

Unlike many tax information sites that rely on generic editorial content, TaxGrader grounds every claim in real data:

• IRS Statistics of Income (SOI): State-level data on adjusted gross income, deduction usage, effective tax rates, and credit utilization.
• Tax Foundation: State tax rate comparisons, rankings, and policy analysis.
• Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED): Economic context including federal revenue trends, median income, and inflation data.
• Bureau of Labor Statistics: Cost-of-living data and income statistics.

What We Are Not

TaxGrader is not a CPA firm, tax advisory service, enrolled agent practice, or law firm. We do not provide personalized tax advice, file tax returns, or represent taxpayers before the IRS. Our content is educational and informational only.

For advice specific to your tax situation, we encourage you to consult a qualified tax professional.

Our Team

TaxGrader is built and maintained by a small team focused on making tax data accessible to everyday taxpayers. Our content is AI-assisted and human-reviewed, with every data point verified against primary sources.
