Single making $40,000 per year for 2017 and 2018
tax bill for 2017 would be $3488
tax bill for 2018 would be $3360
$128
less than $2.50 per week...........such a HUGE windfall
Married couple making $60,000 (medium income). 2017 taxes. $60,000 minus $20,800 equals $39,200. $1905 (10%) plus $3023 (15%) total $4928 for 2017. $60,000 minus $24,000 equals $36,000 times 12% equals $4320 for difference of $608. Better. Less than $11.75 per week. Another huge windfall.
Married With Children. With 7 children because Tom thinks everyone should have 7 children. Making $90,000. $90,000 minus $12,700 equals $77,3000 minus $28,350 equals $48,950. $1905 (10%) plus $4485 (15%) equals $ 6390 2017 tax bill. $90,000 minus $24,000 equals $66,000 times 12% equals $7920 2018 tax bill. Difference of +$1530. Adding in the child tax credit for 2017 would reduce the tax bill to $0. For 2018 the tax bill would be $0. Nothing gained from the new tax cut.

(11,804 posts)All this time I've felt that my life had insufficient M&Ms and here comes the government to fix that problem! By, you know, continuing to ignore our huge infrastructure problems, diverting funds away from regulation that protects me, and leading us to the break of nuclear annihilation (in fairness that last one doesn't have anything to do with the tax plan, just seems to be an on going theme with the Trump Cabal).
Thank you Republican Congress!

(2,064 posts)I live in VA and pay 5.75 % state income tax and own a home. We itemize.
Losing the state income tax write off is going to hurt.
