“The IRS is facing its first big challenge implementing the new tax law: deciding how much in taxes to withhold from millions of Americans’ paychecks,” Politico reports.

“The agency is under pressure to take as little as possible so people will see big increases in their take-home pay ahead of this year’s midterm elections… How the IRS — which is supposed to be apolitical — decides to implement withholding could go a long way toward shaping public opinion on the controversial law.”

(my bold)

if they fold to pressure and bake in this under-withholding, there will be fury on 4/15 when all those people find they’re getting almost nothing back or worse, actually owe money

granted it will be after the midterms

I upped my W4 withholding big time, knowing that trump is going to fuck me.
