​How Tax Reform Will Affect Baby Boomers

​How Tax Reform Will Affect Baby Boomers

Tax Reform 101
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 officially starts affecting tax returns this year, so your taxes next January will look a bit (or a lot) different. Let’s walk through some of the most significant changes to the tax law, so you know what to expect.
Tax Brackets
The tax brackets have gotten a facelift. The tax rate for the 10% bracket and the 35% stayed the same, but the income amounts for both were raised. A raised income amount in a tax bracket means that you can earn more money before moving up to a higher tax rate.
In the other 5 brackets, the tax rate was lowered, and the income amounts were adjusted.
In general, it means more income will be taxed at lower rates, so virtually everyone will be subject to lower taxes in 2018

New Standard Deduction Amounts and the Personal Exemption
Until the new tax bill, you would get a personal exemption for yourself, your spouse and each dependent in your household. The personal exemption amount, $4,050 per person in 2017, would reduce your taxable income. The personal exemption has been repealed in favor of raising the standard deduction, which also reduces your taxable income but only applies to each filer, not each person in the household.
​
Taxpayers can still itemize deductions, but many won’t have enough individual deductions to merit itemizing. This is also because all itemized deductions have been repealed except state and local income taxes (capped at $10,000), mortgage interest, medical expenses, disaster losses (attributable to a federally declared disaster), charitable contributions (up to 60% of income), and other deductions not subject to the 2% floor. Deductions for unreimbursed employee expenses, tax preparation fees and safety deposit boxes have been eliminated.
