You can still deduct property tax up to the $10,000 limit.
If your taxes are higher than that, you need to talk to your local government reps.

Thanks. I'll be able to write it all off.

Crap, I wonder what happens to my Kidney Cars donation.

Some, certainly.

I will be itemizing. And with the loss of my property tax deduction, I don't think I'm going to see much of a decrease in my tax liability. If any decrease at all. With the reduced withholding, I might owe. I haven't crunched the numbers yet.


But then, I'm not a billionaire.

Well you are just going to have to pay your fair share.

Looks like the Punishment/Penalty/Tax for not having Government Approved health insurance has been removed. That will make a lot of ObamaCare filers very VERY HAPPY!

Thank-you Mr. President and Republican Congress.
