I agree. Many people were affected negatively SPECIFICALLY by the 'Tax Cuts and Jobs act'. I am one of them. My situation is unique in that I normally deduct job-related business expenses, since I work at home and my employer does not pay any expense (not even internet). This caused me to lose over 2,000 worth of refund in deductions I have received for 15 out of the last 17 years. That coupled with the changes in state/local taxes and a few other things caused my taxes OWED to go up approx. $2,500. So for those saying 'just adjust withholding', that may apply to some but certainly not everyone. I had to adjust my withholding quite a bit to offset not getting these deductions for next year. I did not adjust withholding in 2018 because it was basically impossible to PREDICT what the change in taxes would mean for my bottom line.
