You originally stated that the brackets are screwing you, but now you are saying something completely different.
You now claim that that you are losing out on tens of thousands of dollars in state and local deductions that you can no longer take.
So, I see the problem as being with your state and local governments, not the federal government.
I’m not in a high tax state. Ohio is average. The issue is not getting a bracket break plus losing the personal exemption. I’ll let you know on Apr 15 how they actually construct the bracket numbers. I expect to pay approx 2500 more unless I’m doing the math wrong
