Well, the additional $1,300 for one of us will reduce the extra federal taxes we will owe in 2018 from $600-800 to $450-650. Being fully retired for the first time in 2018, I sense our cash charitable contributions are going to be lower to make up the difference.

That graphic is not the law that was passed.

Pre-paying your taxes is not against the law, it’s just not deductible as expected.

That means in all other states, which are the vast majority, all Democrats’ seats are in the same jeopardy.

Great point, Svartalfiar. So two children still means $20,000 in extra deductions, over and above the new $24,000 expanded deductions.

This is far better than Skypilot has been saying.

Sorry, SkyPilot.

You got that right about the AMT. I have Turbotax’ 2017 software and ran my info thru it both prepaying and not prepaying. And es macht nichts! “Regular” tax goes down but the AMT goes up by the exact same amount.
