Why millions of people are getting hit with a surprise tax bill this year

An effort to make the tax bill look better ended up making it look worse.

Americans who are accustomed to receiving an income tax refund tend to file their taxes early — often in late January or early February when all the paperwork becomes available — but this year many early filers are finding to their surprise that they actually owe money to the IRS.

A tweet rounding up other tweets from displeased early filers went viral because the user, @smarxist, deliberately singled out people who are mad at President Donald Trump for raising their taxes. .........................

1. I am really nervous about this.

I haven't filed my taxes yet, so I don't know what I owe. I know I'm strapped after 30K in medical expenses since December. It will take me 3 years to pay that back. I can't afford any more setbacks. Crap!! So scary!

7. If it makes you feel any better

One man posted about how his medical expenses saved him from owing. Not sure what state he was from, though. Best of luck.

8. He said since December

So that goes on Next year's tax return.

2. This should have been no mystery. When they eliminated the Personal Exemption, and capped itemized

deductions for SIT and Property Tax, along with eliminating interest rate deductions on equity loans used for anything but home improvement, a good number of those who used to itemize deductions will be the most impacted, but even those who didn't will find that the elimination of the personal exemption will impact them also.


The ones impacted the most will be the middle class.


The extremely wealthy and corporations will make out like bandits, but don't worry, the trickle down economics will provide so much benefit...…..………………………..





The Vox article doesn't even mention the elimination of the Personal Exemption, which is a BIG oversight on their part, because that impacts everyone

3. For those who voted for him because of tax breaks.

We told you so. Should have listened. Do not ask if we feel bad for you because we sure as hell don't.

4. I feel badly for those of us who voted with our brains

instead of Fux Ruse talking heads telling me who and what to vote for. We end up suffering along with the mindless morons wearing MAGOT hats.

6. Yes, I feel for them also.

What did the pig fluckers think the orange piece of dripping shit was going to do? Get a list of those who voted for him and exclude them from his tyranny?

5. Typical Paul Ayn Rand Ryan behavior. Lie, cheat, hypocrisy and run away. n/t
