Looks like EX-SPOUSES paying alimony will get the shaft. RECEIVER get more benefits. Not fair.
Tax on gross profit, not on operating capital.
If you make a million profit on 10 million in sales, your tax bill would be 200k, not 2 million. The 10 million would encompass the operating expenses that you mentioned. Those wouldn’t be taxed. If you were to roll that back into the company, next quarter, your non taxed operating capital would be 10,800,000.
If you lose money on sales, then your tax bill would drop to 0. No tax on no money earned or a loss. That would be if you used your operating captial to cover expenses.
The “no accounting tricks” line is added to make certain that tax is collected or not based on actual earnings, and not projected earnings.
Make sense?
Or are you one of the types that game the tax code for fun and profit? Either that or you’re a tax attorney.
Is that true? I'm a sole proprietor pass-through. My understanding is that there will be a 20% deduction off the top, and the rest would be taxed at my personal rate.
Wrong. You can still deduct up to $10K in property taxes paid annually.
Most people wont be affected. Those who have bought homes in CA, NY and NJ at ariticially inflated prices the last 5 years might take a hit
Our tax bill goes up $3000, maybe more because I did it from memory. Thanks a lot Republicans!
I gues I can continue to write Friggen thieves! On that check I write them every year on top of what we pay all year.
Republicans better pray that the economy doesn’t tank after this passes, or they will be in deep doo-doo.
Quite a few middle class people are going to be affected.....and not just the ones who bought houses at inflated prices in certain states.
I ran our numbers through the calculator and our taxes are going up $3k or more.
Glad you approve because Ill definitely remember in the voting booth. And I wont be the only one.
LOL
Seriously, just don't ever write anything on the 1040 itself or the IRS will prosecute for "filing a frivilous return".
Doesn't matter who is in the White House, they have no sense of humor.
I read in a news story that pass through entities will have the first $75 in income exempted. I am not sure if that is net or gross, I am not sure if that made the final cut.
The Democrats sure know for a fact that the economy will soar if this bill passes. Why do you think they are so apoplectic?
That sucks. Why two years? Why not now!
Rat and eRINO Crony Capitalist conspiracy to ease Obamacare crash, rescue insurance companies, and keep Government fingers in "healthcare" for control.
True Constitutional American Liberty position would be retroactive repeal of individual mandate, let the market decide.
Now, Republicans "have destroyed the wonderful ACA".
So you will voting for the Democrats?
For your taxes to go up, you must be paying more than 10K in Property Tax, have a higher mortgage than $500k, and have an income that surpasses $250K....Yes, some people will see an increase.
Thanks. One more thing, do you think President Trump will issue an order to the IRS to not enforce collection of this tyrannical tax?
Obamacare’s mandate is one of the things both he and a GOP Congress promised to repeal. Justice delayed is justice denied.
Most news and Fake News does not focus on President Trump's many accomplishments in rolling back Prog Socialist Big Government Administrative rule making and re-interpretation of long standing rules, nor his staff reductions of primarily Prog Socialist Administrative employees in the alphabet Federal agencies.
Considering that, DJT may well instruct the IRS to overlook the present Obamacare Mandate Penalties, but nothing is certain.
DJT now has some cover for executive action, Congress has agreed the penalties should go away and DJT is simply more efficient than Congress, while they talk, he does.
Thanks. I always learn on America’s Premiere site for conservatives!
But just sprayed my keys, re-arrange the lint an dog hairs and they’re stiking, dayum
Well, I distinctly remember Republicans running on targeted tax hikes so they could increase the number of people who get refunds on money they didn’t pay, and provide much needed relief to illegal alien families. I suppose this should not come as a shock. /S
Thx
All the stuff that supports their agenda of convincing the public that these are tax cuts for the rich is frontloaded - the parts about the middle class saving hundreds and thousands in taxes is far down the line......
Actually none of what you say is true so.......yeah, you dont know what youre talking about.
Im glad youre happy our taxes will go up.
Yeah me too! Thats exactly why I voted for them!
Theyre friggen idiots.
