...and I am not seeing the difference in my weekly paycheck.

So much for this new tax plan.


Who is benefitting from it?

what caused the difference between the 2 years, income up, deductions down, total tax liability up, withholding down, credits down, etc.

Your post gives no information that implicates the new tax plan as the cause.

The size of your refund is irrelevant to whether or not you are benefitting. The appropriate comparison is your tax liability in 2017 vs. your tax liability in 2018. Once that is known, SuiteLiving has laid the major factors could affect your liability. Look into those and you may have a meaningful answer.

TurboTax estimated 2/3 of taxpayers got a decrease in tax and the other 1/3 of taxpayers are here, I’m sure.

You really don't have a tax question. We all know what this is about.

yes ,, it makes no sense because withholding has little to do with actual tax liability .... you can make your pay check whatever you want ... it only shakes out to what you owe at the end .. this is either a political rant in disguise or someone who does not understand taxes .

I'll go on a limb and say it's the former. I am taking a huge risk though.

sounds like you over paid in 2017 so you got money back in 2018 ... without actual numbers this thread is meaningless .
