And when that happens everything will get worse. Everything.
Wait, what's that? If we elected a Democrat we could still have our guns and *NOT* need to use them for a GOP fueled purge? Well sh**.“Demolish the bridges behind you… then there is no choice but to build again.”

I itemized last year so in theory I should be way better off this year. I also have a lower taxable income I believe because I quit my primary job. I shouldnt owe like I have the last two years I should be in line for a nice refund.

Originally posted by dxmnkd316 View PostYeah. But it’s close. Next year my mortgage interest drop is probably just going to put me below the itemization limit. I have a 15-year 2.75%. So I have a pretty low mortgage deduction. My local property taxes are also quite low. If I lived five miles south in the same home, I’d be paying 50-100% more.
I will most likely get the fun of taking standard deduction on the fed return and itemizing on my state return (they let us do that)Last edited by unofan; 10-17-2018, 02:25 PM.

Re: The States: At Least Michigan is Better Than Indiana
So assuming Iowa's turnout is ~40% of registered voters, roughly 10 percent of all ballots have already been cast. (2,000,000 registered voters, assume 800,000 vote, 88,000 have already been received by the county auditors).
Trend so far looks more like 2012 than 2016, with Dems having a 2:1 advantage thus far. That gap will close, and the GOP will win among election day voters, but you can't say there's an enthusiasm gap in favor of the GOP at the moment.Last edited by unofan; 10-17-2018, 04:10 PM.

Re: The States: At Least Michigan is Better Than Indiana
Traditionally, Democrats vote early, Republicans late, according to my poli-sci professors. That may have changed in the past 20 years, but it was a long-standing trend going back decades when the information was presented to us.

I don't pay enough in SALT to get hurt by it yet. Your city and house value might end up screwing you in that sense.
Originally posted by unofan View PostSo the standard deduction essentially doubled, but they dropped the personal exemptions, so it's not as much of a savings as you'd think (the standard deduction + personal exemption was about 10,000 combined in 2017, this year the standard deduction is 12,000). If you were borderline before, you'll probably be under the threshold to itemize this year.
I will most likely get the fun of taking standard deduction on the fed return and itemizing on my state return (they let us do that)highnormal). I will benefit the most.
