  That’s…not true. There are no tax changes until 2025, at which point they return to 2017 levels. And all individual cuts expire, even for rich people
context: One more time for the people in the back who missed what happened because they were too busy screaming "socialism!"....
  Tax cuts for the very wealthy were permanent, but if YOU got a tax cut it was very temporary. 
  Thanks Republicans!!!! >
  
  Way back when all this was passed, a good friend of mine who's a tax attorney was screaming about this. Until he told me, and I was following the news fairly closely, I didn't even know that Rich and poor had been bifurcated in the bill.
  The way they were able to move their stock back onto US shore without paying taxes as well, that was pretty fucking nuts. Then all of the buybacks.... >
  
  I've been reading how the very wealthy have doubled their wealth in the last 3 years. This should be an extreme example of trickle-down economics if it actually worked. The economy should be roaring out of control right now. If there were going to be a trickle-down effect, there would be no doubt we would be able to see it in this environment.
  Still waiting.... >
  
  you will never find the words 'trickle down economics' in any textbook. >
  
  I certainly saw it in our high school textbooks, but I did go to school in Florida so 😬 >
  
  Lol. My friend who's the tax attorney says that once he hit college anyway you don't see that. >
  
  I note that several tax credits in the area of children have expired.  Seems like the Republican House would be pushing for them to get restarted.  Especially since the Republican House advocates for a stoppage of Abortions.  Hey Republicans, if you are going to force children to be born, the least you can do is give the parents a little extra once a year.  Don't ya think? >
  
  You would think, but they all voted against extending it. >
  
  the ideal woman for a republican is barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen. >
  
  And has none of her own opinions >
  
  Yeah, forgot that one.  Nice catch. >
  
  
  Here’s why: The amounts might be very different than they were last year. Several popular tax breaks have changed since you filed your 2021 return. And your financial circumstance may have altered too, if you sold any assets or were laid off. 
  
  Wow, CNN really did their best not to mention that it was a deliberate ploy by the GOP to, once again, cut taxes for the super-wealthy while, once again, screwing over the middle and lower classes. >
  
  All of the tax changes from 2021 to now had nothing to do with the GOP >
  
  I claim zero and single and owe$2 instead of getting anything back.  So even claiming zero I apparently did not pay enough in federal taxes. >
  
  Thank the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act for lowering the max tax withholding.
  Shout out to removing the home office deduction right before a pandemic, too. >
  
  That seems like a dumb thing to blame the TCJA for. What matters is the total tax you pay, not what your refund is >
  
  It’s smoke and mirrors. Change the withholding tables and suddenly people have more take home pay, yay!  Then at the end of the year you get a surprise bill and possibly penalties for underpayment. >
  
  That seems like the individuals fault for not adjusting their withholdings though >
  
  My take home is the same but somehow I owe. >
  
  Considering due to a withholding error on my overtime the year before last, I got stuck paying taxes last year, any refund this year will be an increase. >
  
  That sucks bro. Something about having to pay at all just burns like hell. I had to pay my state $100 a few years ago and it still bugs me, even though I've got a few hundred back every year since lol >
  
  The numbers work out the same in the end, it's just a matter of if you gave the government a free loan or not.
  I try and get my refunds as small as possible. >
  
  Yep, no intrest free loans. I aim Tex return to be less than $1000 >
  
  Trump and the gop is why. >
  
  He wasn't in office lol. So he didn't even have a hand in passing the increased tax credit in the article. 
  His are still coming though, they're much worse than this. >
  
  
  they’re much worse than this 
  
  What do you mean
