I can't really complain because it means I earn enough to go beyond the SS and Medicare caps.

But as far as the wonderful Trump tax cut, Pffffftttt!

I reset my withholding so the same tax comes out as before. (I’m the payroll manager so I have an advantage here.) I don’t want the extra $$ now to bite me in the ass next spring.
