What did Trump do!!?

Federal Taxes.. We owed a LOT last year, had to take an IRA disbursement to cover them and pay some bills, and expected to get HAMMERED with Fed Taxes this year for doing it..

SURPRISE.. this is the biggest refund we've had in YEARS.. and decades if you don't include the years we installed solar and got the rebates.

Not sure what he did, but last year we didn't meet the standard deduction after itemizing, this year we met it with a LOT of room to spare, yet nothing changed except the IRA disbursement.

WOOT!!!! Hope he keeps doing whatever it is he's doing!!

He's been telling us for months we would see the biggest refunds we've ever seen because of his BBB!

Mine was a wash this year. Had a much higher than normal capital gains which pushed my income bracket way higher than normal. Owed Fed just under $1k, got just over $1k back from State.

But I really didn't see much difference in deductions/taxes from last year to this year, only a couple of $ difference. If I excluded the capital gains, it looks pretty much like last year's return.

I owe much more this year then last. Nothing exciting as far as salary increases. No big changes to deductions. Owe 2x more this year on both Fed and State than last

Mine was about the same as it was last year.

Mine was about the same as it was last year.

Mine too. Maybe I need to reclassify my retirement income as lifetime-overtime or a tip from my former employer.

I don't know yet. I dropped them off this afternoon.

Capital gains spoiled any chance of a refund for me this year. Shucks.
