It may be a simple-minded suggestion, but that has never stopped me before.
I suggest that since the IRS knows what each individual's tax filing was in 2016 (the last year filed) they could mail out a 2016 actual vs 2018 proposed comparison sheet. Most people only care how the bill will affect them. Then after April 15th this year they could again mail out a 2017 actual vs 2018 in effect comparison. That would show what the actual dollar impact would be if you did the same thing in 2018 without any "BUT WHAT IFS." When you file your taxes, all you are essentially doing is confirming what the IRS already knows about your reportable income, which is provided to them by banks, employers, brokerage firms etc. If your income is not reported to the IRS by others (Tips, cash income, or drug sales) then you probably don't really care how the tax bill will affect you since you are already working offbooks. We should be careful about overly broad generalizations regarding the effect of the tax bill. In a nation the size of ours, there is probably no way to lump everyone into a single group. Just ask the Democrats, they have to include a huge number of different groups, acronyms, and initialism symbolic groups to be inclusive as well as diverse (it gets complicated doesn't it). So when you hear a TV pundit make a comment on who will and who won't be just a bit skeptical; they could be lying to you.. Be wary of the overuse of percent when applied to people since Revenue and Expenditures are actual dollars and percent is an abstraction. I once offered to pay my taxes in PERCENTS but the IRS would not accept it, they wanted real dollars. Note that the above release from the White House does not contain Refund 0 Rich 0 Poor 0 It does contain several other keywords Majority 2 Percent 14 (most of which are rate related) $ symbol 19 |
