Most people got a tax cut. The problem is that the law changed how taxes are calculated and unless you estimated your taxes and looked at your withholding to make sure it was still correct, you could wind up paying in less in withholding, beyond the tax cut that you actually got. But the lib media would rather run around with the story limited to "tax refunds" being smaller. Never mind that the person typically is also paying less in tax. And a smaller refund is a good thing. It means you had the money during the year, not the govt. The real problem is for those where their withholding was so far out of whack that they owe money and possibly a penalty too. |

I read that there will be amnesty for at least some (maybe most/all) underpayment penalties for TY2018 because so many taxpayers did not adjust or incorrectly adjusted their withholding (I did not adjust for TY2018, but have not yet determined if I underpaid - I did adjust for TY2019).

Theory has it that if you prepay the amount of last year's total tax liability there's no penalty. File quarterlies and keep your own money a few months longer. -- Cheers, Bev An organizer for the "Million Agoraphobics March" expressed disappointment in the turnout for last weekend's event. |

By hippies, I don't mean limited to 60s era hippies. I mean modern day hippies with similar outlooks and values. But there are plenty of 60s hippies still around too. |
