He claims his tax plans will help the middle class,but it would hammer single moms and single dads with dependent children the most.It will also raise taxes on grandparents and other relatives with no spouse who are raising their dependent grandchildren or dependent relatives.
For example,under his plan single people with dependents will have to claim single.
The increased child tax credits will help a small minority because after a child is 13 you can no longer claim the Child Tax Credit.
This is a disaster,but unfortunately,nobody will care because most people seem to think single and divorced people(esp women) with children deserve their fate.
every actually been to a poor neighborhood? Used to do housing project xmas party for the poor single Moms who got HoH, subsidized housing, free benefits, food stamps etc. A lot of the baby Mamas father of kids showed up in fancy cars etc and some were even cops and fireman in uniform to get free gifts.

hoH has a lot of scammers
Wow, and they're probably the same people that was screaming "make the rich pay their fair share". I wonder how much all those paid for by the tax payer freebies and subsidies are worth or how much you and I have to work, to get the same amount of money to pay for them..
We are getting a bit off topic. The tax increase is on middle class taxpayers with more than three kids. Not people in poverty who can't support their kids. It's not going to break them, but it will result in an angry members of the middle class seeing taxes going up. That's why I think a Republican Congress might kill some of Trump's ideas. They want to get reelected and Republicans raising taxes on the working middle class while cutting taxes on the upper class is gold to Democrats in swing areas. It would be better politically to leave the middle class alone and give a cut (but less of a cut) to upper classes.
Thank you.
Some people think HOH automatically means "unemployed women with children on welfare".
It is middle class HOH parents plus married parents with more than 3 kids.
It is also anyone with disabled family members.
Yep, I know what you're talking about. The same attitude was shown with Obamacare which is also a disaster for some of us who are forced to pay full ticket monthly premiums. My premiums pre-obamacare was $450 a month, post Obamacare it is now $1,200 a month and I don't qualify for a subsidy. So yea, I know how you feel. We've been called racist, liars, and told to shut up and pay it for daring to complain about it. So after Obamacare I'm out of sympathy.
By the way, The Trump Plan will increase the standard deduction for joint filers to $30,000, from $12,600, and the standard deduction for single filers will be $15,000. So for once the tax code is encouraging marriage.
Goverment should not be encouraging people to stay in bad marriages.

Marriage did NOTHINg for me financially.
Prior to Obamacare my premium was $450 and now it's $1200 a month. For the first time in my life I won't be insured.
Are you self serving and demand Obamacare stay because it benefits you regardless that some of us are being raked over the coals financially. In other words... honey I'm out of sympathy. I'll say it with the same attitude that has been shown to fellow Americans in my position. Stop whining, pay it and shut up... it's the price you have to pay for a civilized society.

Nice try,but i receive employer provided health insurance,at $600/mo.
It indirectly benefits me,however.
I am an RN and i have seen the great things Obamacare does;for one,some of my patients can now get the care they need without worrying about caps.
Not sure what Obamacare has to do with HOH filing status?
Learn to use a Schedule A, C, D, E, F, R, or any of the forms.
Learn to itemise.
I have used a wide of schedules and forms in my tax filings. Nearly all of them are used to lessen your income tax burden.
If you are earning Minimum-Wage, you make the same that I make.
Oh my goodness..please explain to me how as a minimum wage earner you are able to find enough deductions to benefit you.
