I did mine. Refund dropped by a bunch, but in looking at the year over year comparison on Turbo Tax, my overall tax rate dropped by about a half percent. The reduction in withholding rates last year about this time is what reduced the refund. I am also in a situation where I maxed out my deductions. Between state tax, mortgage interest and property tax, I exceeded the $10k cap by a lot. That means that my charitable deductions don't count for anything. I wonder if that will end up hurting non-profits.
I don't think you can actually max out your deductions...
did you mean to say that your mortgage interest and property tax exceeded the cap, and that your charitable deductions were not enough to get you over the
already provided standard deduction of $12,000 single, $24,000 joint?
The standard deduction nearly doubled to $12,000 for individuals and $24,000 for married couples filing jointly.
Capping the state, local and property tax deductions at $10,000 means that you could have more difficulty collecting enough deductions to itemize. And if you no longer reach the threshold to itemize, you won’t be able to deduct your charitable donations.
