2018 brought the biggest Tax Overhaul seen with the TCJA (Tax Cuts and Jobs Act)
1. As of 2018, the deduction for personal exemptions is suspended for tax years 2018 through 2025.
2. The 2018 standard deduction is as follows:
SINGLE OR MFS...…………$12,000
MFJ OR QW...……………….$24,000
HOH...……………………………$18,000
3. Miscellaneous Itemized Deductions Subject to 2% AGI limitation are no longer deductible through 2025. This is BIG change for some as it does away with the Unreimbursed Employee expenses, which included business mileage for employees, tools & supplies and travel & meals.
4. The Child Tax Credit increased to $2000 per qualifying child under 17. The portion of the credit that exceeds regular tax liability is refunded but is capped at $1400.
5. The TCJA also brings a new nonrefundable credit of $500 for other dependents, who aren't qualifying children but qualifying dependents under the rules.
6. As of January 1, 2019 the penalty tax under the ACA is $0.
