What You Need to Know About The Tax Reform (Plus: Who It Hurts)

If You Love Taxes Stop Reading

Not liking taxes is something everyone can universally get
behind. Despite having disagreements about the fine print,
everyone mutually hates taxes.


Republicans have put out an aggressive agenda, and if it can
happen it would be the first time since 1986! This reform is more
than just the long-term impact on you; Congress feels like they
have to do something here as the Republicans are in control of
the House, the Senate, and the Presidency.
 


While there still isn't clarity, we can predict who needs to
start paying attention.


**What If The Tax Reform Passes? How Will It Impact You? **


The overall changes that are coming are vague. For instance: the
proposal will simplify tax brackets, but we don't know how the
income brackets will be structured.


Who stands to lose the most as we currently understand the tax
reform? 
  1. Real Estate Agents Should Pay attention (Listen in at
3:30)

The tax reform won't take away with the mortgage interest
deduction, but a doubling of the standard deduction. The
increased standard deduction means a far smaller group of people
will choose to itemize their expenses, which may cause people to
buy real estate less frequently.


There are ways this could be a good thing despite the
frustrations that real estate agents may feel. 


 
2. Charities/non-profits Should pay attention (Listen in at
6:54)

A lot of people choose to give, tithe, or donate with the
incentive to have a tax deduction. If the reform doubles the
standard deduction, there is less incentive to give.


There are also talks about repealing the estate tax, which would
be another hit for charities.
