How about 2018? Who knows. We do, though, know this: Every year, more and more of those “non-refundable” tax credits and deductions are made tax-free. A study by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy says that taxpayers will end up paying an additional 1.2 trillion in 2016 to offset the expiration of popular tax breaks. But wait, you say, taxes are already at a record high. So why does the IRS have to raise everyone's taxes in the next couple of years? Let me put it more precisely. The IRS has to issue the equivalent of new annual Social Security checks. Here's another example from the agency's website: “FICA taxes were raised to a higher rate in 2011, because in some years we had too many nonqualified taxpayers. The rate for the 2013 tax year and the 2011 nonqualified rate were restored, resulting in revenue loss of 4.0 billion. At the same time, we reduced the number of nonqualified taxpayers from the 2010 rate. We expect to reduce that number by nearly 2 billion in 2017.” So, even if taxes did not go up at all, the tax agency will have to add an extra 4 billion to Social Security's federal check each year. It's not because taxes are going up—it's because the IRS has to issue a 4 billion check that already has to be paid. How much more? Here's an example from tax.gov: In 2017, the tax rate increase is equivalent to an additional 12 billion in Social Security taxes—enough to pay an extra Social Security check of 2,749 for each taxpayer and senior citizen. If you don't like the concept of the increased tax burden, don't blame the IRS! It has no control over your tax rate, and your individual choices about how little to pay. The burden will fall on you. And there's more when it comes to your tax code that doesn't affect your tax rate. As I mention in my book, Tax Logic, some people will not have the opportunity to use some of the tax provisions that are available to them because of deductions or credits that were meant to benefit other persons. A person with a medical loss situation, for example, is not going to have access to a deduction for medical expenses, or the opportunity to subtract from taxable income some of their income from their high health insurance premiums.
