扫描了一下GOP的减税计划，College-education credit还在，似乎少了500。现在的American Opportunity credit是一年2500。没仔细读，看到的数字是2000.
好，我家一个dependent,孩子不合适child-credit。 没有人头exemption后，新计划的24000的std. deduction和现在三个人的Std. deduction+人头exemption相当（12700+3X4050=24850）。算了一下，收入到110K,在减掉24000后，是86000的AGI。这都在新计划的12%的税率之内。考虑到退休后的收入，margin tax rate也是12%，所以，除了拿到公司的match-up必需的401K contribution,明年开始不存401K/403B了。但roth还是值得。考虑到儿子明年上大学，用钱多，不存也好。年底有节余的话，可以考虑买Roth IRA，两老可以放一万多呢。政府有新政策，老百姓就该有新对策。明年的税收计划就这么定了。
作为经典中产，新的税收计划我没有大亏（部分现在交15%的税的收入归到12%的新档），应该是持平或少量亏损。
下面是新减税计划有关education credit的：

‘‘(1) 100 percent of so much of the qualified

（二0一七年十一月二日）
声明：
我很可能对这句“12 percent: This rate applies to single filers above $12,000, up to $45,000. Married couples are subject to this rate starting at $24,000, up to $90,000.”的理解有误。从别的来源的资料看，收入的前90000，从开始的0-24000是不交税，后面的从24001-90000是12%。这样的话，我得保证拿到手的钱不超过九万。。。401K还得用。。。。
我这里主要是提供一个思考的逻辑。现在还只是提案阶段。每个数字的变化度会影响我的决定。。。
