| Everyone must make a heck of a lot more than I do. So many people are talking of 100s of $$ they are now making each check. My husband is getting $13 and I'm getting $11. Can't really say that's a huge bonus... |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | My son and his wife live in Mpls. They are getting $320 more per month, plus they are getting a $400 tax CREDIT....not deduction, so that’s an additional $4000 they won’t have pay in taxes.
All that amounts to about $8000 back in their pocket every year.
They don’t quite pay $10,000 in state taxes, so that remains fully deductible, plus their mortgage is below $500K, so that remains fully deductible.

| Should I have seen a change by now? I’m salary paid 2x a month...nadda has changed.
Doesn’t mean I don’t support it - most of what the government does doesn’t affect me in my little bubble, for better or worse. |

| So I get paid hourly and never work the same hours, but after looking... my tax rate on my checks went from 24.2% to 21.6%. So it saves me about $30 per check. Looking at individual taxes taken out it all came from federal. It's exciting but I am also hoping it doen't bite me at the end of the year. I wanted to share some things my tax guy told me when I went this year.
I claim my horses as a business, and I go to school full time, so I also use that on my taxes. He told me the horses will not help me next year, neither will school. He said they are taking away small deductions and giving out large blanket deductions. For example, I will probably be getting married this year  and he said this year is the year to do it because it will go from $12,000 deduction plus whatever for each child to a solid $24,000 deduction across the board no matter if kids are involved or not. That, IMO makes me happy because I no longer have to pay for unemployed ___________ and her 17 kids. Hopefully no one on here is unemployed with 17 kids living off the government... |

| Employers are supposed to change to the new tables by Feb 15, so if you haven't seen a difference, it just may not have happened yet. |

Is your second house a rental? I have three houses and I right off all interest and taxes, one of the three is a rental house. |

Location: Kansas | Well to reference Nancy Pelosi my "crumbs" amount to $80 a month.
If I had her 100 million I would probably call that crumbs too.

not really. i went to visit my son, his wife and my grandchild. they had an apartment on fifth floor the elevator did not work and the stairs had seedy people like drug dealers in it. i was not having that! so I bought a house for them to live in. i was all happy to take the write offs then they pulled the rug out from under me! |
