If I recall right, my accountant said that the withholding tables allow less withholding, but the tax rate tables did not change. Therefore, some people are going to be in for nasty surprises next tax season if they do not withhold enough. I can't stand the current administration and Pelosi and co., but I have to agree with JbarL that the Republican party is completely in the crapper at the national level. They lost their conservative focus -- and I don't mean socially conservative, but fiscally conservative. They had 8 years (control for 6) to do great things and mostly squandered it. I am afraid that things are going to get a whole lot worse before they get any better both for the nation and the Repub party.
