How much would you lose - fiscal cliff poll

[Deleted]

Looks like just over 2k a year. They go down a few hundred under Obama's plan. I didn't do the detailed calculation though, so any deductions aren't included. I assume those deductions have similar effects on each plan so I don't assume they will make a huge difference in this prediction.

Thankfully we usually get around 2k back in a tax refund, so while it would impact our overall financial situation, at least we're not talking about any kind of major monthly change.

it would increase our taxes by about $5k/yr.

I am idiot. Can someone explain where I find what they are now?

There doesn't seem to be much difference between the Obama and Republican plans for us (about $700 more for R plan), but the there is with the fiscal cliff (about $4K more).

ETA: Now I'm totally confused. I just found the summary on the side and it says my tax buden will be $4K LESS if we go over the fiscal cliff. How is that possible?

it would be about 100/month difference. it goes down a bit with obama's suggestion.

Looks like ours is going up about $5k under the cliff (more if you include payroll taxes). Almost no change with the Obama option.

[Bob Loblaw]

fiscal cliff: increase of $11k/year. Holy crap.
Obama: down by $500

About a $14K/year increase with the fiscal cliff. About an $800/year increase with the Obama option.

Wow, $2,000 more per month. Yikes.

[jwright]

$14,000 increase for full fiscal cliff. That would suck.

I refuse to look. Keeping my head in the sand is the only way to go right now. I've never felt we were taxed unfairly, but sadly the tax code doesn't take into account our two-household situation, so things are just extraordinarily tight right now.
