Default Well, my tax refund is smaller...
So I had my 2017 and 2018 taxes done today. Turns out I made almost the same (plus $200 this year). My refund was $600 LESS! What about the lower taxes the GOP and President Trump promised me??? How come my refund is $600 less than last year? What did they do with my mo...what a minute...looking at the numbers instead of the bottom line it appears I paid $1300 less in taxes during the year. Hmm...it would appear that I AM $700 TO THE GOOD OVERALL!!! MAGA 2020!!!

AGI up almost 10% this year, and paid less in taxes.
Yes, the refund was down, but I am smart enough to know how it works.

We made more, tax bracket dropped, owed about 800 less than last year, in fact after our state refund, we netted $21 to the positive, Woohoo. We've not had a refund in about a decade.

The accountant looked at me funny when I looked it over and said "I get it". He said he has had to explain it so many times every day.

I believe it.
GOPTaxScam trended on twitter for a while there, all the idiots were bitching about how their refund was less this year than last year.
With ZERO context.

I have not gotten a tax refund in over 20 years. I understand compound interest.
