A higher standard deduction should make up for most.

“A higher standard deduction should make up for most.”

Not really.

While there is a higher standard deduction they are also eliminating the personal exemption.

And severely limiting the 401k exemption.

It will make up the difference FOR A FEW and fewer than 50%.

A higher standard deduction should make up for most.

My problem with that is: A higher standard deduction will mean MANY MORE people will not be able to itemize at all!

That means, a bunch of other deductions that come in handy every now and then will be gone. Things like: being able to offset Gambling winnings with other gambling LOSSES.
