I'm paying $2500 more in taxes in 2018 than I did in 2017 on the same income earned. Even if I witheld more during the year in still down more than $2500 overall. That's a tax increase, not a cut.

That's a tax increase, not a cut. I'm in the same boat- just did my Turbo Tax and with about the same income I owe even more this year. I did have quite a few capital gains to pay tax on. I also checked my payroll stubs- around the week of 1/14 I did see a small bump in my take home, but not enough saved over the course of the year to offset my taxes!! I'll probably have to pay that penalty for underpayment, something like 10%!

Everyone's situation is different. If you are in a high income tax state and make a certain amount, then the limiting of that deduction will hurt. Also, there are other variables involved. However, for his people in red states, most of them have less tax liability than before. Now, many don't understand that is a different issue than just a refund. All because a refund is lower doesn't mean they have paid more taxes. That is his base though. Many simply cannot understand that. They live for that refund. They knew this was going to be an issue. That is why Trump started to talk about a middle class tax cut in Sept before the election. The reality was some in the middle class did receive a cut with the last reform but some didn't.

It was debunked literally immediately by the journalists who were there and was never mentioned again.

What changed is they got into power again and there are no Democrats around to blame it on. That’s what they do, complain about the other side screwing something up, then doing the same thing when they’re in power. Remember the anti-war left of the Bush years? Me neither. It’s been a long time.

My boss gave me a heads up on itemization I had not done previously, which may have aided in me getting around 200 more back this year than last. The mortgage interest claim that was taken away nationally stayed at a state level, so I only was jipped a little bit on that part of the new deal.

In the job I had I didn’t make one extra cent all year. Paycheck was exactly the same. I’m on a salary scale. And I’m paying about an extra $2,500 between reduced refund and more estimated quarterly taxes that I have to pay in 2019. I was keeping an open mind about at least his tax policy, but yeah, he fucked this up royally too. Or did exactly what he intended, which was to fuck over the middle class. Either way, that was the effect. I find it hilarious that so many Trump supporters are now in a position where there have to lie about their tax returns, which are black and white numbers, to continue to defend him. They’re like the “Leaving Neverland” guys who defended MJ even after they realized he had abused them. BT must be curled in the fetal position right now thinking about where Trump touched him but refusing to admit it.

I had a small raise. Wife did too. Two working parents. Well over the standard deduction here of $24k. Between charitable contributions, property taxes, dental work due to wife getting wisdom teeth out, we had like a $40k deduction. Broke even last year, this year owe $1800. This is with me claiming zero deductions and actually putting extra money towards taxes every paycheck. We're not attorneys or doctors. We're doing ok, but solid middle class. Total bs.

At this point, to prevent this happening next year, I'm witholding $125 more per paycheck, and bumped up my 403b contribution to 25% of my paycheck. We're also middle class, and I fail to see how this has me better off? Just gives me more incentive to use illegals to keep costs down.

Taxes went down for us. Middle class. Taxes went down slightly on the paychecks and our refund was slightly bigger. We did better in 2018 tax wise than 2017. Things changed too, though so it's not apples to apples. For example we added another family member (my son was born this past July). Last edited on Mon Mar 11th, 2019 02:01 am by Qaenos |

You get the extra child credit, so that’s huge. Twinks must just be getting destroyed though.
