About the site
Is Actual USA a government website?
No. We are an independent site with information in English. We are not affiliated with the IRS, USCIS, the SSA, or any DMV. We always link to the official source.
Do the calculators and simulators cost anything?
No. They are free and you don’t need to register.
Is the data I enter in the calculators saved?
Calculations happen in your browser. Never type your Social Security number or ITIN: the tools don’t need it. See the Privacy Policy for more details.
Is the refund calculator result exact?
It’s a simplified estimate. Your actual refund depends on your full situation and what you report on your Form 1040.
Does passing the simulator guarantee passing the official exam?
No. It’s a study practice tool. The official exam is administered by USCIS or your state’s DMV and may include other questions.
Do you offer personalized advice?
No. For your specific case, consult a licensed professional or the official agency.
