In reply to the discussion: Why Many Americans Are Shocked by Their Trump Tax Refund [View all]CountAllVotes
(20,854 posts)2. It amazes me
I know of more than one person that was expecting to receive a refund of some sort only to find out that they owe a couple of thousand dollars. I mean like *ouch*.
Most are plain angry as they should be but some of the garbage I've seen from dumpster supporters is so unbelievable such as this one here:
>>The tax issue was my fault. I did not realize they weren't taking out the necessary taxes. You've gotta pay it if you want to collect it at some point! haha!
Don't we all wish we could be so nonchalant about not getting that $3K you were expecting to receive?
Fools like this are a dime a dozen so to speak!
Sad the way they defend these horrific policies! They should be just as pissed!

Even the lower earnings categories got a small tax cut, in the bracket rate.

True. The property tax cap hit upper middle class, or those in high-tax states.

Yes. The Repubs have been after mortgage interest & prop tax deductions for YEARS...

I was beginning to wonder if that was the plan. If the withholding was intentionally too little.nt
