Did you have to pay more in taxes this year?

Haven't done my filing yet, but have been hearing a lot of middle class folks seeing huge increases to their tax burden vs last year. Wondering if anyone here can confirm our if it's just hearsay.

People are paying less taxes overall, but aren’t seeing the refunds they’re used to. These are different things.

@QuixoticSoul True. However, in some states with high housing costs (CA, NY, NJ, etc.), limits on the interest tax deduction will cause some middle income earners to pay higher taxes overall. Depends on your specific situation, but not everyone is seeing lower taxes.

@windinhishair Definitely. But they’re not trump voters so it doesn’t matter lmao. Donor states, too, might as well squeeze them a bit more.

@QuixoticSoul Exactly. The states with the greatest impacts are those that voted against Trump. That is not a coincidence. More proof that he only governs for the benefit of his shrinking number of supporters.
