    What makes you think you wont see a difference till you do your taxes? If the percentages change, your employer would withhold less from you check i thought.

    If your overall tax liability goes down you may see a bump in your paycheck (taking less taxes out per paycheck) but when you file taxes is when you get to take advantage of things like the increase in standard deduction so I think the bigger chunk will come much later. Full disclosure...I'm not an accountant, just a lowly engineer lol. I'm going based on what I've been able to read online.

      Bloomberg Financial is saying February or March timeframe for "peasants and serfs" to see a difference! !! Corporations have obviously already acted by sending shots across the bow at AT&T and Comcast! (-;

        Oh ok. That makes sense, because i heard the standard deduction is getting increased also. So that all lines up with what you said.

              Here is my take.... The tax bill is GOOD NEWS. Does it fix all the problems? HECK NO! Will this pay us out of debt? I doubt it but it will at least slow the trend while entitlements are assessed. the thought process is that entitlement spending will decrease as more good paying jobs pull people that are currently on Gov support back into the work force and start paying SS.

              Do we have to ride this mule? Yes! At least we have a mule to ride uphill instead of a snake slithering down hill..

                Assuming Trump signs it, the new tax rates tax effect January 1st. It will take a couple more weeks for the IRS to adjust the withholding tables that employers use to calculate how much income tax to withhold from your paycheck, so it will be February before you see a little more take home pay in your paycheck. Even though they will still be withholding more in January, you will still ultimately be taxed at the new lower rates for the entire year. Whenever you file your 2018 tax return in early 2019, you'll settle up on the final numbers then, as usual. You'll either get a refund if you had too much withheld, or you'll write an additional check when you file if you didn't withhold enough during the year. Either way, the total amount that the IRS ends up taking from you for 2018 will be lower than it would have been if the tax cut would not have passed.

                There is talk about Trump waiting until January to sign the bill. If that happens, the tax cut still takes effect January 1, 2018. But it would postpone required cuts to federal spending until 2019. If he signs the bill into law during 2018, then they will be required to cut spending in 2018. That would be best, of course. But they won't do that, I'm sure.

                  Good chance no signing until January. Need to make sure no backlash for midterm elections due to cut backs hitting voters. I have not seen anything about doing basic taxes on a postcard? I guess the CPA ASSOCIATION got that kicked out.

                    U are correct Steve. I pray the "devil in the details" is digestible. The entitlement discussion will be pure fireworks......but entertaining!

                      I'm going to pay $1000 to $1200 less in taxes next year.

                      Neighbor said this tax bill wasn't going to save him any money, he's on full disability and doesn't pay income taxes, but he's hoping the **** stupid high property and school taxes are next.

                            It's a positive start. You can't turn around a carrier on a dime. It takes time and a lot of power.

                              Now if I could pay less for health care as well as taxes, then I would be ok. As it is now I already pay 3 times more for insurance than I do for taxes annually.


                              Taxation(and mandated health care) is theft.

                                Maybe we stop calling it healthcare (mandated ore otherwise) and call it what it IS.... insurance.
