I know they did away with the itemized deductions but in turn they also made the standard deductions much higher. That's odd that it doesn't offset it. It sounds like your taxes are far more complicated than mine. I do mine and my husbands but his is just a simple w2 with his yearly salary, it's pretty easy thank goodness. I did have a few set backs this year. Last year we qualified for the exemption for my husband not having health insurance but because he makes more money this year we didn't qualify I guess and had to pay $700 for the penalty. I'm so glad that's one thing they have changed that helps just about everyone.
