quote: ORIGINAL: sloguy02246 3. STATE/LOCAL INCOME TAXES and PROPERTY TAXES In 2017, all your current state and/or local income taxes and your property taxes are fully deductible. But not any more under the new bill. Beginning in 2018, the total of all your state/local income taxes plus your property taxes are now capped at $10,000/year. What? Your income and property taxes are over $10,000 a year? You are SOL. I bet this one is only going to be good for "the rich." [8\|]

quote: ORIGINAL: sloguy02246 FR - While this discussion has generally centered on the overall impact of the new tax bill, has anyone noticed the individual provisions in the current law that are being changed, such as: 1. ALIMONY Paying alimony to an ex-spouse? For 2017 you can now deduct those payments from your gross income, while your ex-spouse must declare the payments as income. But not any more under the new bill. In 2018 your payments are no longer deductible and the ex doesn't have to declare them as taxable income. You not only must make the payments, but also absorb the taxes as well. Sweet deal for the ex, huh? 2. MOVING EXPENSES In 2017, certain moving expenses incurred when changing jobs are deductible from income. But not any more under the new bill. Starting in 2018, no moving expenses are deductible - unless you are in the military and are being reassigned. 3. STATE/LOCAL INCOME TAXES and PROPERTY TAXES In 2017, all your current state and/or local income taxes and your property taxes are fully deductible. But not any more under the new bill. Beginning in 2018, the total of all your state/local income taxes plus your property taxes are now capped at $10,000/year. What? Your income and property taxes are over $10,000 a year? You are SOL. Lots of other changes as well, like the residency requirement for the one-time $250,000 exclusion when selling your home. Maybe some of these "other" changes will nullify the "tax cuts" everyone thinks they will be getting. There are many 1,000's of those in the middle class that will in this bill, see...their taxes go up. Money talks and if you don't have enough free speech (money) well, you aren't going to be heard. Don't despair, all of those who mortgaged one of those real nice good size McMansions or larger yet, won't get the full mortgage interest deduction anymore.

Enemy to the libertarian and if conservatism hadn't sold out and become rent-seeking corporatists, may not be the problem everyone feels they are. But no, the right in America jumped right on that cash cow and with the dems, have made K St. worth $30 for every 1$ invested. Oh and there is simply no rationale for being able to deduct the interest on any mortgage above $500,000 if that and I think the new limit is $750,000. Like I've said, it's primarily...a moral question.

MasterDrakk -> RE: Senate to vote soon on tax bill (1/7/2018 4:10:32 PM)
So what are you doing about all the deadbeat rightist states that pay no taxes and mooch it off the federal government, to the detriment of just about half the states? Oh, you didn't know about that? Or you are spewing factless lying propaganda? I vote you are howling dementedy like the rightwing imbecile you are.

Congress took away my exemptions. That has NOTHING to do with my state. Try again? Oh and considering my state has the #1 ranked state economy in the nation, I think we are doing ok :)

Amazing isn't it how we are to vote for fiscal conservatives, that turn out to be anything but and have failed to now, for about 40-50 years. Repubs have presided over trillion$ in red ink for that long. And yet, we are to still vote for them.

So one isn't favored over the other. My point is.... This horrible Republican tax increase is taking away my exemptions which has NOTHING to do with my state taxes. AND it is capping my state and local tax deductions. (My sales tax deduction + my Property Tax deduction will be about 13k this year). I have no idea why people think paying higher taxes is such a good idea.

I would, but those on the Left didn't pass this horrible tax increase bill :( I live in a majority blue state, with one of the lowest tax schemes in the country. (Oh =, and the #1 ranked economy in the country) 6.5% sales tax + allowing individual cities and counties to add 0-3% ZERO income tax. Basically a consumption tax only :) Our legislature, due to Republican gerrymandering, is evenly split. Which is fine, because I like our Republican legislators. Our governor, whom I know personally, is a centrist Democrat who knows how to build a booming economy. All of our statewide officials are Democrats, except our Republican Secretary of State (maybe the only non-corrupt Republican SOS in the country). And our two Senators, both women,and both of whom I have met are OUTSTANDING!

Ad Walmart to the growing list of companies giving raises and bonuses to their employees. Announced this morning, Walmart will raise their minimum to $11.00 per hour and give bonuses of up to $1000.00 to their employees.

For the majority of people, it's going to be a tax decrease. How many Lefties who are all about more tax revenues do you think will continue to pay a higher amount of taxes than what they are now owed? That is, assuming they'll owe more taxes for 2017, how many do you think will pay the higher amount?

servantforuse -> RE: Senate to vote soon on tax bill (1/11/2018 8:15:10 AM)
133 companies have given bonuses and or pay raises to their employees as a result of this tax reform bill. That's a big deal. That's just the beginning.

MasterDrakk -> RE: Senate to vote soon on tax bill (1/11/2018 11:23:00 AM)
What is 133 as the ratio of all companies? It doesn't come anywhere close to a big deal. It is, however, very close to not happening whatsoever.
