WOW! Trump's new tax plan (2018) is taking money from single people and giving it to married couples. When did IRS become a federal marriage counselor? Take a hypothetical NYC Wallstreet earner who declares $350,000 a year taxable income. 2017 single earner keeps $206k 2017 married keeps $215k 2018 single earner still keeps $205k 2018 married earner keeps $235k! by getting married, in 2018, $30,000 tax savings. That's enough to buy a brand new luxury car _every year_, or $2500 monthly payments on a mortgage $1M home! $30,000 in _after tax savings_ is a huge amount of money in america. What the fuck? (above) tax savings for single earner. almost no savings at all! (above) Tax savings for married earner. almost 5% lower effective federal! (above) Taxes in 2017 and 2018 for married earner. (above) tax savings for 2017 and 2018 single earner (virtually no savings).
