I’ve compared old and new, have completed my tax returns (much better than last year, thank you) and have seen the data. The ONLY people complaining fall into one of several categories.
1) Their monthly withholdings were reduced, increasing their take home pay. As a result they’ve paid less in taxes but bitch about getting a smaller refund...which is moronic.
2) The 1% top income earners who own homes with mortgages over $1 million and who live in high tax states.
3) Those ignorant of the facts.
Which are you?
I really do not need to play arrogant games with you. Perhaps you do not know everything.
I am a retired lawyer, with past experience in tax law, I have two combination CPA/Lawyers in my immediate family and there is a 4th category, where certain tax credits and deductions lost are not compensated for in the new standard deductions.
Hope that helps.
