Could it be that "refunds" are down because the Government didn't rob as much from you through out the year? I've not received a "refund" from the Federal government since I was in my 20s. Why the fuck should I give them an interest free loan for the year?

It could be. Good luck with that argument vs the billions rich people made off the tax cuts.

When you make more than last year the government takes more.

Yeah, good luck with the facts, you've got your entitlement mentality that makes you think you're owed what others have earned.

It’s not about me, man. I promise you that.

Refunds are just shitty financial planning.

True. But many Americans like refunds and depend on them.

Here's the point lost on Troomps. As you don't want to hear anything negative ever about anything Trump did. This is something Trump supporters are blaming on him, regardless of the actual reasons why it happened.

But reality is, this will be forgotten when Trump starts screaming about the wall again. They will get reenergized.

Every single case where somebody has bitched about their refund being less, I've noticed that their total taxes paid were less in 2018 than 2017. In other words, they were simply taking home more in each paychecks due to less withholding.

It's really stupid and pointless to compare refund amounts instead of total taxes paid.

No shit. But reality is most people don't look at it that way.

I know deductions from my check went down after the tax cut took effect. I'm just guessing that might reduce the refund amount.

The Tax plan was a joke. EVERYBODY I know is getting significantly less back or are owing when they received refunds last year. I called it from the beginning. If you are a homeowner who lives in a state income tax state, you were gonna take it in the ass. And save the BUT BUT... they withheld less!!! They did, but not near enough to off set the tax amounts collected overall.

This. Whiff a bullet.

Americans who produce pay taxes. You're a sad economic contributor if you're waiting for your tax free loan return from the FEDs.

It's certainly not how APAGs two dads could afford to raise him in the most privileged island in Washington.

They paid capital gains, they didnt wait for returns on income taxes because they knew they owed.

So hi tax states are really the problem.

No good reason why federal taxpayers should have to subsidize states' income taxes.

Didn't think you had an intelligent response.

RaceBannon

You want an intelligent response don't post about your stupid friends who don't understand how refunds work

That's not how we make policy

Perception has nothing to do with politics anymore? You want to talk about stupid friends who can't even understand the green new deal?
