I was thinking the same thing...no noticeable difference to me. I got curious enough to look it up. Was supposed to go into effect Jan 1. I suppose you won’t really notice the difference until you do your taxes for 2018.

Whoa... whoa... whoa...

How many people have been collecting government assistance?

Are they crumbs as well? It certainly adds to the debt.

of course, this list above doesn't include the millions of workers keeping more of their own paycheck due to individual tax rate reductions.

i'm happy for them all.
I am also delighted at all the wonderful news.

Good place to start is her company’s HR Department. They will have the answer. If they do not, she might want to have a look around for a more solid question. Certainly whining on a message board is not a mature, professional or knowledgeable thing to do. HR Departments are the professionals in any company to go to for any question of this nature. In tune employers know this.

She needs to log off, tune in, ask questions of those in the know and quit complaining to those who cannot, are not able to give her answers to her particular question.

Though, maybe her’s is just a disingenuous post.

HR Department has the answers. If one does not, then yes it is possible one could over or under withhold. It is all about taking responsibility for your financial life.

So...10K in debt. Thats was the cost of your "raise"....that expires.
You noted $20K in another thread. At this rate it will be $100k by next Monday.

I only notice because your posts do carry a some weight with me.

My portfolio has literally doubled in the past 6 years. Maybe more- I'd have to check. It's been a real run.

You know why that is. These tax cuts will add more than a trillion dollars to our deficit. What happened to the republican deficit hawks. They seem to be against a democratic president adding to it but ok with a republican president doing it. It's not sour grapes....it's who is going to pay for it in the future...oh our kids So wonderful that we are leaving them with our debt to pay.

What up?

I didn't really have a chance to review it with a magnifying glass or anything ~ but it appears my health coverage went UP.

Thanks Trump!
Hey Ringo, Pelosi said it would be Armageddon. We're all still here lol
