@Spartan And here's mine: 2016- $3,544 2017- $3,896 2018- $4,312 2019- $6,879 Keep making America Great Again! There will always be people who have problems with change. That's never going to end. But the greater good is what counts. I'm sorry if some of you had to take a hit so that millions would do better but that's life. The greater good will always come first. ... View more

@bzbee08 Of course it's going to affect some people, but the people it's was meant to help (lower and middle class) it should not have caused much of a change to unless they didn't adjust. I'd like to see where that was proven false. There will never be anything that helps everyone, in order to help some you have to take away from others. In this case to help people struggling the people with more money had to take the hit. There is no one size fits all when it comes to taxes so yes, of course it's going to affect some more than others in a negative way. ... View more

You couldn't itemize business expenses and such but the TCJA offset that by DOUBLING standard deductions. So if you truly were lower to middle class it should not have affected you much at all. People who make more money sure, but what TCJA was meant to do was help the people who needed help. ... View more

It also seems like people don't seem to comprehend how taxes work. If you aren't getting as much back it's usually because you didn't overpay. The refund you get is the money you OVERPAID to the government. By overpaying you are basically giving the government an interest free loan. You may have gotten less back but it means you paid in closer to what you should have and you didn't overpay. If you ended up owing money then you obviously did not adjust your withholdings like you are supposed to EVERY SINGLE YEAR. Don't blame the government on your mistakes. But Ifor you did end up with a smaller refund it also means you probably had more each paycheck, which really is the better way to do it. If someone has $100 taken out a month that is that much less on their check, if that person falls on hard times and has to get a small loan to make it until next paycheck they end up paying fees and interest on that money that they could have had if they didn't have it taken from their check to be put in a government account until tax time. See the pattern? It's much better to have your money now rather than get a larger sum at the beginning of the year. ... View more

It did me, I got about 2k more this year and next year I'll have $700 more since obamacare won't be taking that money. Did you adjust your withholdings like you are supposed to do every single year? If not then that's on you. I'm so sick of seeing people complain about something they could have prevented if though would have just paid more attention to these things. ... View more

I GOT MINE, just checked it's 9:17pm cst. Everyone's should hit tonight, I had an offset, and paid fees ... View more

@NavryWifey2006 With our 1st I got wick but once my husband got his 1st promotion now we make too much. They don't take my medical bills and prescription costs into consideration. That alone was almost half our months salary because my insurance won't cover it. But now our yearly income has almost doubled but he only gets paid every other week and hasn't made his first check with the new pay. I am hoping with taxes and his promotion we will be financially stable finally! I hope and pray. ... View more

Most people haven't gotten their deposits yet since the ddd is 27th some people are just lucky and got their a bit early. But don't stress over wmr, It won't update until Wednesday or Saturday I believe. So it probably won't update until we have our money but that doesn't mean it hasn't been sent. ... View more

@Sinfulsaint1216 That's great! We aren't buying one tomorrow but in the. Extra 2 weeks for sure. I have a 2 door accord that is just way too small for 2 carseats and I've had it for 12 years so it's time for another car. I couldn't imagine not having a vehicle I'm so glad you will have one tomorrow. I'm so happy I'll be able to go get my little guy some formula and baby food! It makes you feel terrible as a parent when you can't supply your children with something as simple as the milk they need! Hopefully this will help us all get a little ahead and live a little more comfortably! ... View more

@Sinfulsaint1216 Yay! I just heard it on my card! Thank you so much for telling us! You have no idea how much stress you just relieved! Thank you thank you for posting that! ... View more
