I have scheduled my appointment for March ... which by that time I will have everything I need from others collected and compiled ready to complete my 2017 tax returns. I feel whatever I need to know about the changes, he will tell me when we meet.

I saw a news coverage this week and the tax people said this normally is a very quiet time. But with the new tax changes, their phones are ringing off the hook. People are asking if they can prepay 2018 property tax to get full benefit.

Our CPA called this morning and advised us to prepay our real estate taxes for 2018.

She called back this evening to say that she had given us bad advice and that IRS would not recognize the deduction.
