Last year’s big tax cut is about to start shrinking.
The Internal Revenue Service on Thursday announced the tax code’s parameters for 2019, implementing a new method for making inflation adjustments that will result in higher tax payments—and government revenue—over time.
The shift will cost Americans $133.5 billion over a decade, according to Congress’s Joint Committee on Taxation.
The tax law enacted last year lowered tax rates and reduced tax burdens for most households in 2018. It also required the IRS to switch to a different, slower-moving measure of inflation to adjust a variety of tax-code features for rising prices.
The standard deduction, tax brackets and other items will still increase most years, but now they will usually climb more slowly than they would have under the old formula.
The result: More income gets taxed at all, or taxed at higher rates.
The bite starts as a nibble. In 2019, the standard deduction for a married couple will be $24,400. The deduction would have been $24,550 under the old inflation-adjustment method, according to calculations by the Tax Foundation, a conservative-leaning group.
In the 24% tax bracket, making the standard deduction $150 smaller than it otherwise would have been would cost a taxpayer $36 in higher taxes. That will be reflected on tax returns filed in early 2020.
The gaps widen over time. Many taxpayers got their largest benefit from the new tax law in 2018 and will watch it shrink annually.
“When you sit down and figure out your taxes, I don’t think you’re going to notice this amongst all the other noise,” said economist Jared Bernstein, a senior fellow at the left-leaning Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
You Americans have got to stop bitching so much. Canadians are all being audited for any unpaid tax pennies over the last six years to pay for the $10.5 million Jihad bonus awarded to Omar Kadhr for his fighting against Canadians during the Afghan war.

The child was perfectly aware that not only was the emperor naked, he was also trying to steal everyone's money and value.
Everyone else noticed the wickedness too, but they had guns pointed at them.
Brayden Williams
You guys, user, have got to START bitching!
Thats your problem right there. When we get disgruntled here in America, we let the whole damn world know of it!
Jason Adams
Honestly I think the problem with other nations and citizenry is they don't get MAD enough. Citizens should be giving them lots of headaches for the way they are backstabbed and mistreated by their governments.
Brody Miller
Britcigarette here. I admire how people in the US arent prepared to take shit from their government. Here people would lie down in the road and die if the government told us to.
Anthony Gonzalez
Its in out DNA at this point. America was founded on distrust in government, rebellion of authority and revolutionary freedom-fighting war against an Empire. And we've had the taste of those freedoms for soooo long afterwards its literally expected. And it gives some Americans rage when thinking about how these commies want to micromanage our lives, disarm us and control us like plebs. It gets me angry every fucking day.
Jacob Adams
The IRS is criminal because it steals money under threat of violence
Thats what they CLAIM. If you actually go to court against them - which some have tried - you get your ass raped by the so-called "Justice" system. Its better to just comply and move on if you want to keep on living your life as much as I HATE to admit that.
However……
When Shit finally HTF and their petrodollar system goes up in smoke, and the US dollar collapses, show these cocksuckers no mercy. Squat in your homes and make them eat lead if they try anything else. Until then, we can only let our hate and anger for them grow inside of us.

Get used to it, its here to stay.
Caleb Clark
darn IRS. always collecting taxs
Why do we pay taxes I'm gonna drive on theroad out front, pass my kids school and mail a letter asking my senator why.
Henry Ramirez
Thats not the point at all. The point is we got tax cuts passed by LAW, and they are trying to nullify it because of their greed. These tax cuts help families provide food on the fucking table encase you don't know.
Brayden Bailey
Maybe you Canadian faggots should stop being such pussy slaves and learn the law yourself or so some research instead of being told what to think
Aaron Brown
Learn how shut works before you go opening your asshole and trying to speak, all those examples you gave are state and local tax. This is about federal tax, do you live in Washington DC? Why y are u paying for their tax? You live in a state, you are a citizen of that state. Have you ever been to the U.S. ? You haven't unless you've been to Washington DC. Learn some shit before you start dropping turds from you mouth
Also that can all be done privately, you don't need to have Government to have a road. Look at southern Florida, almost all the highways are private toll roads.
Huh? The law REQUIRED the IRS to make the inflation change. You should be POed at the GOP's sham taxcut which benefits your bosses but not you. F*cking sheep.
Landon Young
oy vey goyim you're getting milked dry and you dont even notice *rubs hands*
Eli Lee
oh I'm 100% sure it's voluntary
Angel Thompson
Dumb ass. Voluntary COMPLIANCE means you pay it yourself rather than the government lifting it out of your checking account. And, no, withholding is not the same thing. You can elect to withhold zip, pay zip and wait for the IRS to figure out did not voluntarily comply.
Kevin Lopez
All USD is literally property of the Rothschild family, they just let you hold on to it for them because you behave better when you feel like you own something.
Aiden Myers
And you feel better when can blame someone else for your failures.
Evan Morris
I do own something, my guns and ammo. And if they try ruining my life I'll be there to ruin those that try to take it from me. Thats pretty much all we can conclude at this point. No beating around the bush anymore, someday they are coming for us and we need to be ready to deal with them.
Ryder Perry
It's not like George Soros is going to personally kick your door in. They will send your white neighbors to do their dirty work.
Noah Thompson
The kikes hope you shoot at the cops who take your guns. You die, and they can justify more police militarization. They want you dead, and don't care if their police lackeys die too.
Probably true, but face it, its likely to happen to a lot of younger Americans whether they like it or not. I think I'll die before they ever fully repeal the 2nd Amendment, because I'm getting old. The best we can do is postpone it as long as possible, that, or what? "Kill all the Jews" is not a very realistic option at this point. Even saying something like that, in real life out in the open, would get you v&.
Adam Richardson
alright user, i have a table set up. you can come over and ill water board you for 10 years. i can be conservative even. just waterboard you every day for 1 year and 10 million is yours
Easton Martin
The court no longer accepts facts but rather replaces them with fables because it's in their corporate interest to do so. The Federal Register defines the authority as a "corporation" not a government and for very specific reason. There is no such thing as The United States Government. It is the "UNITED STATES CORPORATION" and you can look up the articles of incorporation for yourself because they no longer let me post them here for you to see for obvious reasons.
the tax cuts only amounted to about 300 bucks average, and now you're not even going to get that. the greatest difference was for the rich, of course. but everyone was too blinded by the intensity of the orange to see that. don't complain that the irs is now taking it away because of tiny change in calculation, complain that it was that insignificant to begin with (for everyone but the ultra-rich) that something like this would affect it.
Jackson Perry
Right and I found that in a pinch Alex Jones snake oil is killer to use in place of gun solvent and it doesn't take nearly as much to achieve the same results. Can also use it to remove the finger prints on your fingers so use rubber gloves when cleaning your barrel if you want to keep your prints.
Ian Myers
Already happening!
Nathaniel Williams
Its going to all crash sooner or later. I just can't wait till all the scum and vermin die off. Get it over with, this is slow drip torture.
Liam Edwards
It would be paid off faster with a lower general rate and easing of environmental protection red tape to let a man start whatever business he wants wherever he wants
Gavin Murphy
Those other nations never experienced the true freedom, prosperity, and cultural enlightenment because they have always been, and might always be, peasants.
"peasants" has a strong negative connotation, but let me remind you; a king can't exist without docile peasants who outnumber the king and his men 100/1. Those peasants could easily overthrow the king. They don't because they are all cowards. They don't because they all fight among themselves. The group of peasants could have freedom deserves slavery if they are not willing to take freedom. You can lead a horse to water…..
