Associated Press<\/a>: \u201cI owe how much? Americans shocked by impact of new tax law\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt stinks.\u201d – Florida taxpayer<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI will never forget the moment, I thought \u2018We look good\u2019 and then we added in the next W-2 and my jaw hit the floor. There was no way I wanted to believe that what I was looking at was accurate.\u201d – Oregon taxpayer<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

“We were shocked. We’re totally shocked.\u201d – New York couple<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI was expecting to get less of a refund or maybe owe a little bit. I did not expect to owe two months of take-home pay.\u201d – Illinois taxpayer<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were expecting to have to pay something. But we weren\u2019t thinking it was going to be such a huge difference.\u201d – Virginia taxpayer<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
