I read somewhere that the extra deduction for Seniors and the blind of $1300 was preserved. If that’s true, for a single senior (my category), I think it means I get to deduct $13,000. Because I’m upper poor, the remaining taxable income will fall into the 10% category. For me, it’s a slight advantage. What’s good for the economy is that these slight boosts for a great part are spent in the local economy.
