Over the last two years we cut taxes by almost $400 million and revamped the system (you remember that, right?). You'll file under the new system in 2009 but this is a transition year.
So, will you pay more income tax this year or next?
I see the Retirement Deduction got "flipped" to a credit, so that former deduction won't be lost to those who qualify for it.
What about the Disabled Dependent Exemption? On a draft copy of the new TC-40 there was no longer a place to indicate that a family has a qualified disabled dependent (and therefore qualified for an additional exemption on the tax return). Has this deduction been swept away? If the retirement exemption was changed into a new credit, why not the disabled dependent deduction???

My tax liability was three times higher on the new system. Yuck!
