Well, not really—cavemen no longer exist and probably wouldn’t care to do your taxes if they did, but you get the idea. With the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, simplicity is key. As Speaker Ryan recently said about the House-passed version of the bill, “With this plan, 90 percent of Americans will be able to use the standard deduction. You can fit your taxes . . . literally on a postcard.” That’s right. By streamlining the tax code and nearly doubling the standard deduction, average Americans will save time and money when filing their taxes. No more expensive tax preparation. No more hours lost to lengthy forms and confusing directions. For most Americans, tax season will mean filing taxes on a form the size of a postcard. Americans deserve a tax code that works for them, not the other way around. And that’s the crux of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
