Unless you're a high-income person in a high-tax state like CA or NY, you'll pay less in taxes in 2018.
Note though that the withholding tables were changed. That means you might be getting more in each paycheck - point being that you shouldn't necessarily expect a bigger refund with your return next year.

And, so, some of the changes were retroactive.
An increased deduction lowers your taxes, although this particular provision probably doesn't affect you at all.
Did you have a child turn 17 last year? That could cost you $1,000. But, under the new tax law you'll probably get $500 for that child in 2018.

Meh, the sex talk was more fun
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Yes, I did have a child turn 17, and yes, I am still supporting him, along with my 4 other children! My expenses have NOT gone down!! (In fact, quite the opposite.)

I joined a69 briefly once and then asked to be removed because it's all talk about masturbation and porn, not sex. That, and pics of naked AF members.

I joined A69, but rarely venture over there. I haven't the interest, honestly.

That's is not true! I, for one, started a thread on dog boners.

That cost you a $1,000 credit. That was under the old law. The TCJA is going to give you $500 of that back.

Yeah, the Christians are actually having sex. The atheists are jacking off to porn, yet calling us repressed. Go figure.

Is it really necessary once again to trot out the statistics about porn consumption in the U.S.?

Your response is like a 5'2 man and a 5'8 woman talking about who's taller. And the 5'2 man saying, well men are taller on average, so I guess I'm taller than you.

If you say so.
Alpha and CL enjoy good sex lives. I'm as happy for them as I get when contemplating shit that's none of my business.
