Tax Talk

There's talk of Trump ending the Income Tax

My Opinion:  I don't think this is ever going to happen.  I might be biased a little, because, well, this is my livelihood, but also because there are too many complications that affect so many people.  We depend on the income tax process to not only lift people's incomes through various refundable credits, but also to report on earnings through the SSA retirement system.  We use it to gage if people are able to afford loans and figure out if they meet grant requirements.  Then if we abolish the service, does it give those people that have huge bills to the government a free pass, kind of like what Biden wanted to do with student loans?  I think there is an argument for reducing rates, and I think there is an argument for simplifying the tax code, but not eliminating it. Even for me, it gets really difficult to understand some of the IRS code sometimes.  I might suggest reading the following article from Kiplinger to get a more in depth understanding.
