Average tax refunds were down last week 8.4 percent for the first week of the tax season over the same time last year, according to the Internal Revenue Service. Dipping refunds are inflaming a growing army of taxpayers stunned by the consequences of the Trump administration’s tax law — and the effects of the partial government shutdown.

The average refund check paid out so far has been $1,865, down from $2,035 at the same point in 2018, according to IRS data. Low-income taxpayers often file early to pocket the money as soon as possible. Many taxpayers count on the refunds to make important payments, or spend the money on things like home repairs, a vacation or a car.

The IRS had estimated it would issue about 2.3 percent fewer refunds this year as a result of the changes in the federal tax law, according to Bloomberg. MSNBC reports that 30 million Americans will owe the IRS money this year — 3 million more than before Trump’s tax law.

“There are going to be a lot of unhappy people over the next month,” Edward Karl of the American Institute of CPAs told Politico. “Taxpayers want a large refund.” Some 71 percent of taxpayers received refunds last year worth about $3,000 on average, according to Karl.

Scads of taxpayers are complaining on Twitter that they have always received a refund — but now owe the IRS instead. ...

The low and middle class don't pay enough as it is.They use more of the government services.Raise their taxes.

 

[JBond]

Leftist propaganda is pathetic. They recieved more than that during the year in the increased paychecks. What sort of tard wants the government to hold their money with no interest?

 

[Kondor3]

Yes. People are, indeed, paying more at tax-time this year. The whole thing was more Trumpian snake-oil and bull$hit.

Sadly, most people do. 80% of the country on average receives a refund on their taxes. Most people do not know how much they are paying, they base it all on the size of their refund, they actually brag about how big of a refund they get.

This is not limited to a single party, to pretend it is just shows your own bias.

There should have never been a mortgage interest deduction, the tax code should not be used to influence behavior.

Link us to the tax table which will show us who is paying more in income tax this year. Thanks in advance.

That’s what all tax code does...encourages or discourages spending habits and behaviors. I’d bet some people much smarter than you and I have good reason to frame such guidelines.

You do realize that when you pay in less taxes from income, there is less taxes that you get back? Only the retarded liberals would make a point, because most of them dont work in the first place...I only get back about $100 for the year, because I barely put any overage because why should I loan the government "MY MONEY" so they can use if for the year, then give it back without paying any interest? Only dumbasses allow the government to abuse them..

Trump: You Bet I Support Raising Taxes on the Rich

Yeah, right. He'll probably shut down the government if Congress doesn't raise taxes on the wealthy.

Yes...if you live in a blue state you now actually have to pay for the massive taxes you voted for...no more cheating and not paying your fair share by getting write offs from the democrat politicians who hide the effects of their massive taxes by allowing deductions for their high local taxes....

Yes, the people that want to control our lives have a good reason to use the tax code to try and influence our behavior.

People that are not statist or socialist think it is a bad thing.

The purpose of taxes is supposed to be to raise revenue for the government...not for social engineering.

But too many people are more than happy to be led around by the nose.

Indeed. Having higher take home pay throughout the year is better than loaning the government money interest free for a year.

Lies are all the left has.

Here's what Trump's tax plan means for people at every income level from $20,000 to $269,000 a year
