You're a fucking idiot

Tell your bullshit to the retirees who now are subject to a higher (highest ever increase) on taxes against their social security checks…

Yes… a tax against income, that was a tax to begin with…

Then tell them but we gave them a slightly higher standard deduction… but you can no longer deduct mortgage interest, property or sales tax unless you itemize… but you must have this much to itemize… oh, and now you're more tightly limited to the percentage of medical you can now deduct against your income…

"But you didnt withhold enough…" bla bla bla

Fucking repub Congress trying to save face against backlash…

You shouldn't need to withhold on ssa…

But please… tell us people who do this work how you're right… and we're just a talking point…

American people got played…

Simplest return I helped on this year…

Single mom

(Husband claims kids - divorce crap)

Daycare director

Income $24k

St.deduct $12k

AGI $12k

Withheld $2800.00

Est. Return $700.00

Adjusted credit cause she houses and cares for her ailing grandmother born in the 30's

…. $300

So she paid 1,800.00 in income taxes the entire year for a $24k income for a household of 2

But wait… st.ded. for eld dependent is +$6k

Total deduction should be $18k…

But what is not explained is why an adult dependent deduction is $6k and NOT $12k…

And a lower $300 credit…

Oh yeah… did away with w-2 employment expense deduction

And last point to this idiot

Individual st.ded. did NOT double

Child dependent and married filing jointly went up

The noticed increased was towards married couples with kids who rent with a 30-60k income…

If you're in that bracket, yeah for you…
