I was told they want to pass it in 2017 so it will be active for 2017.

So what are the new tax brackets and rates?




Comparison of before and after Trump's plan on $300,000 gross income for a family of 4 (both children dependent students). Remember, tax credits phase out at $230,000, so no credits on this illustration.

BEFORE:

Standard deduction: $12,700 + $16,200 ($4,050x4 exemptions) = $28,900 - remaining taxable = $271,100

$18,650 @ 10% = $1,865 - remaining taxable = $252,450

$57,250 @ 15% = $8,587.50 - remaining taxable = $195,200

$77,200 @ 25% = $19,300 - remaining taxable = $118,000

$80,250 @ 28% = $22,470 - remaining taxable = $37,750

$37,750 @ 33% = $12,457.50

Total tax paid: $64,680



AFTER:

Standard deduction: $24,000 - remaining taxable = $276,000

$90,000 @ 12% = $10,800 - remaining taxable = $186,000

$170,000 @ 25% = $42,500 - remaining taxable = $16,000

$16,000 @ 35% = $5,600

Total tax paid = $58,900



Total difference = +$5,780

That's about a 9% savings.

Around $482 extra dollars per month.

================================================

Let's do it on $200,000 gross income family of 4 now. Tax credits apply here because under $230,000.

BEFORE:

Standard deduction: $12,700 + $16,200 ($4,050x4 exemptions) = $28,900 - remaining taxable = $171,100

$18,650 @ 10% = $1,865 - remaining taxable = $152,450

$57,250 @ 15% = $8,587.50 - remaining taxable = $95,200

$77,200 @ 25% = $19,300 - remaining taxable = $18,000

$18,000 @ 28% = $5,040

Total tax paid = $34,792.50 - $2,000 (2 child tax credits) = $32,792.50



AFTER:

Standard deduction: $24,000 - remaining taxable = $176,000

$90,000 @ 12% = $10,800 - remaining taxable = $86,000

$86,000 @ 25% = $21,500

Total tax paid = $32,300 - $3,800 ($1,600x2 + $300x2 credits) = $28,500



Total difference = +$4,292.50

That's about a 13% savings.

Around $358 extra dollars per month.

================================================

Let's do it on $100,000 gross income family of 4 now.

BEFORE:

Standard deduction: $12,700 + $16,200 ($4,050x4 exemptions) = $28,900 - remaining taxable = $71,100

$18,650 @ 10% = $1,865 - remaining taxable = $52,450

$52,450 @ 15% = $7,867.50

Total tax paid = $9,732.50 - $2,000 (2 child credits) = $7,732.50



AFTER:

Standard deduction: $24,000 - remaining taxable = $76,000

$76,000 @ 12% = $9,120

Total tax paid = $9,120 - $3,800 ($1,600x2 + $300x2 credits) = $5,320



Total difference = +$2,412.50

That's about a 31% savings.

Around $201 extra dollars per month.

==============================================

Here's an example of a single person making $100,000.

BEFORE:

Standard deduction: $6,350 + $4050 (personal exemption) = $10,400 - remaining taxable = $89,600

$9,325 @ 10% = $932.5 - remaining taxable = $80,275

$28,625 @ 15% = $4,293.75 - remaining taxable = $51,650

$51,650 @ 25% = $12,912.50

Total tax paid = $18,138.75



AFTER:

Standard deduction: $12,000 - remaining taxable = $88,000

$45,000 @ 12% = $5,400 - remaining taxable = $43,000

$43,000 @ 25% = $10,750

Total tax paid = $16,150 - $300 (personal tax credit) = $15,850



Total difference = +$2,288.75

That's about a 13% savings.

Around $191 extra dollars per month.

==============================================

Here's an example of a single person making $40,000.

BEFORE:

Standard deduction: $6,350 + $4050 (personal exemption) = $10,400 - remaining taxable = $29,600

$9,325 @ 10% = $932.5 - remaining taxable = $20,275

$20,275 @ 15% = $3,041.25

Total tax paid = $3,973.75



AFTER:

Standard deduction: $12,000 - remaining taxable = $28,000

$28,000 @ 12% = $3,360

Total tax paid = $3,360 - $300 (personal tax credit) = $3,060



Total difference = +$913.75

That's about a 23% savings.

Around $76 extra dollars per month.

Everything in the bills I've seen says for years after 12/31/2017.



Eta: Not completely true. I did read in the Senate Bill that the 100% depreciation is for assets purchased after 9/23/2017.

So is this now the law of the land starting in 2018 or are there still hurdles to clear?

I believe the Senate and House have to reconcile the differences between their bills.

But I'm not sure if it has to go back to vote after it's reconciled or if the reconciling committee has the power to push it through once they agree.

It would really be boss if it would apply to 2017 income. If the bill passed in Senate is for 2018 income can conference change it to apply for 2017?

Freaking Clinton retro acted tax increases back in '93 or '94 so the precedent is there.

I just don't see how they can do that. (I know they can, I mean without getting pushback). Yes, this bill will save a lot of people money, but some people will owe more and it's not really "fair" to hit them with this without giving them time to plan. I say this mainly because of the loss of itemized deductions. If it was just a change in brackets and rates them I could see them making it retroactive.

I didn't read the part in the actual bill but I saw this article earlier.

Thanks for the link. How about the new market or low income housing tax credits?

I don't like this bill. Can't claim deductions for state & local taxes, mortgage interest paid and property taxes paid.

Not ONE Democratic vote. Not a ONE. The Republicans are weak, desperate and they suck big time

you ever tried to negotiate with a moron? Why try if you can get what you want done without having to? I’m all for classic legislation but these people aren’t giving a damn inch and seem to have no common sense or their are pushing for their own agenda alone
