The problem is they adjusted the withholding tables back in 2/18 -- fordham 02/12/2019 2:31PM

Sorry, I was off by a couple of years. ** -- VTSnake 02/12/2019 2:02PM
Wasn't sure if it was 8 years or 10 ... it was because of another law -- vt90 02/12/2019 1:58PM
Isn't it the corporate tax cuts that were made permanent? ** -- Hokie360 02/12/2019 1:28PM
Sure. The ones that mostly benefit the top 0.1% ** -- VTSnake 02/12/2019 2:06PM

Most of their huge tax windfall went to stock buybacks -- VTSnake 02/13/2019 07:10AM
Actually they don't as far as their personal taxes go ... -- vt90 02/12/2019 2:15PM
How much of the top 0.1% income is traditional though? -- VTSnake 02/12/2019 2:26PM
They make income from everywhere ... -- vt90 02/12/2019 2:34PM
Yep - the only number that matters is the 'total tax owed' line and that -- vt90 02/12/2019 1:19PM
Its more accurate overall. And they wanted people to see $ before election -- hucareshokiesrul 02/12/2019 1:17PM
Finally, a reasonable post on this; all the headlines are annoying -- WestyHokie 02/12/2019 12:26PM
Those headlines are trying to push a specific narrative (ie tax plan bad). ** -- HokieNoVA 02/12/2019 1:54PM
Aren't Roth contributions post tax? How does that lower your burden? -- VTSnake 02/12/2019 1:13PM
You are correct, Roth is post tax. ** -- EDGEMAN 02/12/2019 2:32PM
I'll let you know Feb. 27 ** -- WestyHokie 02/12/2019 1:31PM
Every article I've seen explains why it's happening but describes how -- hucareshokiesrul 02/12/2019 12:44PM
85% paying less, 10% unchanged, 5% paying more is the rough approx ** -- 133743Hokie 02/12/2019 3:20PM
Please source. I haven't seen anything stating that most are paying less ** -- VTSnake 02/12/2019 1:14PM

Here is an interesting article ... -- vt90 02/12/2019 2:30PM
Here's one. From the WaPo... -- Hokerer 02/12/2019 1:44PM

Look up the tax tables for 2018 vs. 2017. Rates dropped. -- MP4VT2004 02/12/2019 1:25PM
It is fairly simple math - most (almost all) will have a lower total tax -- vt90 02/12/2019 1:25PM
That's the irony; most did pay less, they just didn't think about it -- WestyHokie 02/12/2019 12:57PM
Not a CPA, but yes...most regular folk will pay less...however... -- JoesterVT 02/12/2019 12:14PM

You don't sound snarky. -- MP4VT2004 02/13/2019 12:50AM
I understand your premise -- RTFC 02/13/2019 10:19AM
I think he mean's that he's now taxed on it, not a double dip -- VTSnake 02/12/2019 2:51PM
Basically correct - by "untaxed" I meant there are no witholdings... -- MP4VT2004 02/13/2019 12:55AM
That's not how I understood it -- RTFC 02/12/2019 4:26PM
Sorry, I didn't explain it very well. -- MP4VT2004 02/13/2019 12:57AM
Media spinning it ** -- DaveVT 02/12/2019 12:36PM
Kind of like adjusting the withholding too much so you can point to bigger -- jmanatVT 02/12/2019 1:31PM
I've seen them reporting that people are mad, but they always explain what -- hucareshokiesrul 02/12/2019 1:01PM
