B-Man Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 “This is Armageddon,” was how Rep. Nancy Pelosi described the GOP’s tax reform bill back on Dec. 4, before it was passed and inspired companies like AT&T, Boeing, Fifth Third Bank, Wells Fargo, and others to issue employee bonuses, hike wages, commit to domestic reinvestment, and increase philanthropic donations. Armageddon continued into the new year as Southwest Airlines announced that it, too, would be giving a $1,000 cash bonus to each of its full- and part-time employees.

Kevbeau Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) So for grins I re-ran my 2016 return using the new rules. Federal bill ends up being about 8% less and I think it'll play similar for most people. Playing with a couple different scenarios, I was thinking about the impending blue state deduction apocalypse. If you're making a certain amount of income, chances are your triggering the AMT anyway, so property and state taxes really don't matter from a deduction standpoint. There are probably a lot of households in big metros that fall into this category and for them, they should see a decrease in their tax bill. That means the folks that are really going to take it in the pants are those who have overextended themselves from a real estate perspective (I don't mean this as a disparaging comment. I realize in certain parts of the country, the only way to own a home is to overextend.) They haven't had enough income to to trigger the AMT so have been realizing the full state/property deductions and because of state/local rates they're going to hit that 10K ceiling fairly quickly. Disclaimer: I am in no way a tax expert, so could be off base and I only looked at Married/Jointly. Edited January 3, 2018 by Kevbeau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Pelosi: Higher wages, better benefits are “pathetic” & “insignificant” Democrat leader Nancy Pelosi says the pay increases, bonuses, and better benefits companies are giving to workers after Republicans passed the tax cuts bill are "pathetic" and "insignificant" "crumbs" This is a devastating and incredible gaffe from Nancy Pelosi that will likely fuel many Democrats' concerns that she is killing her party's efforts to appeal to working class voters again.

The_Dude Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 It’s my understanding that savings I’ll see will only last about two years? But as a small business owner I will benefit greatly on payroll taxes. Speaking of payroll taxes — today is shakedown day and I gotta pay fed and state.
