I just found the Big Beautiful Bill resulted in us having to pay higher taxes. You have more money taken out of your paycheck, with the caveat you'll get a higher tax return. I'd rather keep my own money. I never thought I'd say this: Fuck Donald Trump

Important to point out that it is better to have the W-4 set a bit too high than too low (less than 90% of what you end up owing). Yes, the "refund" you receive is essentially a interest-free loan to the feds BUT tax withheld from paychecks is counted as if it were evenly distributed throughout the year (unless changed with a Form 2210). And technically tax payments are owed quarterly. Which means if you under-withhold some of that money was due months ago. Too much and not only do you get get to pay the difference you also get penalties and/or deal with estimated taxes next time.
Not as much of an issue if your only income is from a paycheck, but worth being aware of.
