In reply to the discussion: Average Tax Refunds Down 8.4 Percent As Angry Taxpayers Vent On Twitter [View all]Arkansas Granny
(31,516 posts)13. I work for a small company with 14 employees. So far two of them
have made changes in their withholding because their tax return was so small or because they had to pay more instead of getting a refund. One for sure is a Trumpet (the guys warned him not to wear his MAGA hat around me ) and I suspect the other is as well.
I don't discuss politics at work, so I don't know if they have connected their situations with the Trump tax cut or not.

What did they not understand about a tax CUT? You pay less, your refund will also be LESS.
