    Do to the limit in the property tax write off and income bracket change alone. 2017 there were more braquets 25% 38g-92 28% 92g-199. 33% 199g-416g. 2018 it's 24% 82g-157. To 32% 157-200g. So instead of falling in the middle depending or how busy the year is it will bump the bracket, unless it's a slow year I'll save , but fall right in the edge of the higher Bracket sucks balls

    But that would only apply to the amount in the bracket. So it is likely as you barely cross the gains on early money will offset the increase. Your effective tax rate does not ccontain any steps

    EDIT: and oh 200 for me but it is lower since that is a 96 hour of the bi-monthly so others are smaller

    I was at that amount in NJ and that was CHEAPER than a lot of my friends who ranged between $13.5-16k/yr.

    so you lost $1k of deduction and you are "screwed"? your standard deduction went up by more than that, so you break even at worst it would seem. add to that the fact your actual bracket rates decreased and you should come out ahead like everyone else.

    My paycheck last Friday was 3.855% higher, so basically got a good "cost of living" raise. I hope to do my 2017 taxes this weekend, not sure if that will show changes or will have to be on the 2018 taxes.

    I need to drink coffee before doing maff in my head... 1,600 sq ft...

    in all honesty the 10,000 + in property tax had me thinking big numbers. Maybe they were doing similar math without coffee
