I own a business. I paid about 3 grand less than last year and I made about the same. I do the math on everything and came out ahead. I don’t have the time to explain it but I’m happy. I thought it would be much, much, more.
I own a business and my husband owns a business plus works a job- nothing different from last year ...unfortunately we owed FIVE THOUSAND more than last year (last year got a couple hundred back). The wipeout of the personal exemptions (basically $20,000 gone) and no longer being able to take unreimbursed employee expenses literally killed us. Our CPA said the majority of his middle class clients did worse this year. Middle class hit hard, upper class ($215,000+) hit hard but not as hard as those around $85,000-$200,000. It was not a pleasant day :(
