发帖数: 1664 | 2 The standard deduction amount is also doubled in 2018
So if you use standard deduction instead
Doing so is meaningless, right?

发帖数: 17878 | 3 Yes, If you don’t itemize this year there is no point doing this
Even though the standard deduction almost doubles next year but personal
exemption goes away so it is a wash for a family of three and bad news if
your family is larger

发帖数: 17878 | 9 good habit, but I still prefer electronic if possible
the problem with mailing a check, I think, is that it is error-prone
CA law does say that it is the postmark on the envelope that matters, so you
could mail the check on 12/31 but I would try to avoid that so no
unnecessary surprises if things go wrong

发帖数: 2539 | 11 老余，新税法的抵扣是不是就几项：standard deduction 24000, mortgage interest(
home price, not loan<750k ), state tax and property tax <10k, HSA,
401k。
另外 dependent care HSA 还有吗？

发帖数: 17878 | 12 looking at Schedule A, I think donations, medical and dental expenses also
stay.
FSA, HSA, and 401K are pretax payroll deductions. I don't think there are
changes in the new law.
