Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Just left the accountants office. The 20% deduction for being Self Employed (real estate) really helped. I ended with a $13,000 refund between State and Federal.
i would hope most if not all of us will continue to contribute to charity despite the potential loss of the deduction....Overall, my taxes were uneventful (which is a good thing). With new laws, I did fall into the taking the standard deduction group. Which for 2019 give no financial incentive to give anything to charity . Oh well.
i would hope most if not all of us will continue to contribute to charity despite the potential loss of the deduction.

That’s slightly up from $3,004 at this point last year.

Our poll number has been trending to "got less." The poll started out with "got more" in the lead for awhile but now it's the reverse.
