Be careful before you spend this and determine if your taxes will really go down. Mine will not. I think many people will be surprised when they file next year.
Nearly impossible for a Florida resident. If you are a high income person from a high tax state, paying alimony or adopting a child .... maybe.


Every person who has said that to me so far has either been uninformed or purposely making a false statement.
