    Budget Bill passed today affects 2017 returns

    FYI, the Budget bill passed today retroactively extends a number of provisions back into 2017. There appear to be 30+ changes. The big ones are:
    ● Cancellation of debt on your home won't be taxed;
    ● PMI (Mortgage Insurance) can be deducted; and
    ● The tuition deduction has been set back to how it was.

    If any of this affects you, and you are self-preparing your return, I would wait several weeks to give the software companies time to re-program their software.

    Brian:

    If you "self-prepared," wait a month or 2, process any "updates" to the software, then see how much the answer changes. I wouldn't do anything right now... I'm not so much a "tax guy" as I am a "small business" consultant, but, the tax people that I listen too right now haven't fully digested this "Thing" :-) , so the software companies (mine included) will be a week or so, maybe more, before they have their software up-to-date. Go take pix for a while... :-)

    There are only three types of mounting flanges; too big, too small and wrong thread!
