First-Year Filings – Tax Cuts Mean More Money in Americans’ Pockets this Tax SeasonDownload

Due to President Trump’s leadership in the passage of the Working Families Tax Cuts, Americans will see the largest refunds in history this tax-day. The legislation made permanent the reduced income tax rates implemented under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), restored and strengthened business tax cuts, and increased refunds through added benefits on top of the already low rates.

These new and enhanced provisions include No Taxes on Tips, No Taxes on Overtime, No Taxes on Social Security, No Tax on Car Loan Interest, an Enhanced Child Tax Credit, and an increase in the standard deduction. Countless Americans are taking these deductions, resulting in hundreds if not thousands of dollars per year in extra tax savings.

people sneak into the country from the jungle, and they get welfare, free healthcare and free everything. A place to live paid for by uncle sucker., but those of us who actually work hard are supposed to tell them when we get tips. I find that funny.

“...No Taxes on Social Security...”

No, not for all SS recipients. 12% have been left behind.

no need to tell anyone you have ever been given a tip. It’s as stupid as if you claim to be , “White, non-hispanic “ on any form. don’t be a dipsh&$.

It’s 6,000 dollars off per person. I wish everyone would stop lying saying no tax on social security. That’s one lie every person will find out about.

It’s 6,000 dollars off per person, except it gets to Zer0 dollars per person for, I’m guessing, the 12% sometimes admitted to.

I’m guessing that the 88% number includes those with any reduction as it tapers off.

A better way to give people a break would be to rid of that take 2 dollars for every dollar earned while still working. Thats the dumbest law of all.
