Nope. Make sure you aren't confusing child support and alimony.AZGrizFan wrote:Was told by someone today that there’s a “grandfather” date before which you can still claim it....not true?93henfan wrote:

So I finally got around to figuring out some rough numbers. I made an extra $80/month due to the tax cut, but now I owe $400 to the government, so I made an extra $560 purely due to the tax cuts. Add to that a pay bump of $3000 from moving jobs which was taxed about $600.SDHornet wrote:Probably a pay raise that he isn't accounting for.AZGrizFan wrote:
Didn’t you get a raise from the tax cut during the year? Or did Your bracket not change?
And as a young up and coming engineer, if he didn't get a pay raise last year then he needs to look for a new place of employment.

But my property tax went up $100 and my healthcare went up about $900 this year, but my gas costs was only $1000 compared to $2000 the year before (new job is much closer), so I effectively made about $3000 more after moving jobs and the tax cut last year.
Overall I did end up saving less money this year though even after making an extra $3000, but I have to dig deeper into spending. I didn't take a vaca, nor bought a big ticket item, or change my lifestyle, so I have to see where the extra money is going. Because it's a lot of money (unless I made a mistake elsewhere).

Don't forget about the HSA. I had one that I forgot about, didn't use for a year or so and didn't realize there was a $5 monthly fee.∞∞∞ wrote:I've always had one.Ibanez wrote:

I actually just figured it out. I saved $200/mo for an HSA account which I forgot about, so in reality there's probably $600-$1000 of spending I gotta figure out.

My federal return was "accepted" by IRS later the same day, and Delaware accepted my state return a day later. They say three weeks, but I'm willing to bet I get my returns in two or less.
The Trump cut lowered by effective rate 2.1% last year, so that was sweet. Delaware actually got worse.
