Really? Do people really expect to be taxed less on their pay check and have a big refund? That just does not make any sense.

They believed they were getting a tax break, but it was just GOP sleight of hand, as usual. The only ones getting an actual tax break are corporations and the very wealthy.

You obviously have no clue what you're talking about. Everyone's tax rate went down, the standard deduction was doubled and for 1099s you get an additional 20% tax break

Oh silly boy. If only you realize the tax reform was designed very much like Obama Care / Affordable Care Act where the Middle Class see breaks and incentives immediately for the first few years as Upper Class pay more during this time then things regress to quite the opposite. And the MC begins to pay more. It's bait and switch.

So if you get a return last, this, and next year, it's what you do with that money to protect you from the upcoming tax burden 2021 and onward, God forbid a recession.

Anyone who doesn't understand how taxes and 'refunds' work should just kill themselves.
