@PaulaRoyce @MaggyW5 It really was not on purpose. No one wanted this to happen. But since it did the question is will they fix it? The measures that eliminate the kiddie tax and the widow’s tax are very much up in the air right now. — PolitiTweet.org

Patriotism, according to Merriam Webster, is love for or devotion to one's country. Not one's party. Not one's president. Let's not be confused. https://t.co/i6INCvui0S — PolitiTweet.org

@PoliticalAnt @nolesfan2011 The Senate has passed stand alone bills so they need to hash out differences with the House and they aren’t in agreement about other provisions in the larger House bills. — PolitiTweet.org
Brianna Keilar @brikeilarcnn
@PoliticalAnt @nolesfan2011 Revenue generating bills are supposed to originate in the House and they have wrapped these issues into larger bills. In the House te kiddie tax is included in a larger retirement bill and the widow’s tax is included in the bill that funds the entire defense department. — PolitiTweet.org
Brianna Keilar @brikeilarcnn
@PoliticalAnt @nolesfan2011 Both chambers have passed a bill that includes the kiddie tax and a bill that includes the widow’s tax, but they aren’t the same so they need to be negotiated in a conference committee and there are sticking points over other stuff in the House bills. — PolitiTweet.org

In the meantime, the “kiddie tax” issue has been apparent since the beginning of the year. Memorial Day came and went. Last month Gold Star Mother’s and Families Day came and went. Will Veterans’ Day come and go before congress fixes this? Will congress fix it at all? — PolitiTweet.org

... the bill also blocks DoD funds from being used for the wall, and the White House and Senate Republicans oppose that. Congress has until November 21st to send a bill to the president’s desk that fixes the “widow’s tax”. — PolitiTweet.org
Brianna Keilar @brikeilarcnn
In the Senate the impasse is over the president’s diversion of DoD funds to build a border wall. What does that have to do with Gold Star Families? Nothing. Except ... that the “widow’s tax” fix is attached to the House bill that funds the DoD. And ... — PolitiTweet.org
Brianna Keilar @brikeilarcnn
It’s become known as the “kiddie tax” and both Republicans and Democrats are united in wanting to change it. Each chamber has passed legislation to fix both the “kiddie tax” and the “widow’s tax,” but the full congress has not. — PolitiTweet.org

The survivor benefits of Gold Star children are now taxed at the same rate as trust funds and inheritances, an unintended side effect of the tax reform law passed by Congress in 2017 and signed into law by President Trump. — PolitiTweet.org
Brianna Keilar @brikeilarcnn
Add to that, when she went to file her kids’ income taxes this year (that’s right, even her then-2-year-old filed taxes, as the kids are no longer her dependents because they receive a survivor benefit) the 12-13% tax on their benefits was now a 37% tax. — PolitiTweet.org
Brianna Keilar @brikeilarcnn
But that means a benefit that was supposed to last her entire life will now age our when her kids become 18 or, if they go to college, 22. That will happen in a few years and, as a result, she will have to sell her home. — PolitiTweet.org

He left behind his wife, Malia Fry, and three children, ages 2, 7 and 9. To avoid having her monthly survivor benefits from the DoD cancelled out by the death benefit she receives from the VA (an offset known as the “widow’s tax”) Malia transferred the DoD benefits to her kids. — PolitiTweet.org

In today’s Home⭐️Front column I tell the story of the Fry family. Gunnery Sgt. John Fry was an explosive ordnance disposal technician in the Marines. He had been disarming an improvised explosive device in Anbar Province when it exploded in 2006. — PolitiTweet.org

When congress passed tax reform, it inadvertently imposed a hefty tax on kids who have lost a parent to war or service-related injury or illness. The survivor benefits of Gold Star children are now taxed at the same rate as trust funds and inheritances. https://t.co/c9ZHLekUiZ — PolitiTweet.org
