The IRS changed the withholding tables and when people saw their paychecks go up a few bucks, they assumed they were getting a tax cut. In reality, most people need to lower their withholdings to make up for the loss of deductions under the tax reform bill.
It will be good to see the look on peoples faces come early 2019 when they realize they actually owe taxes. I had to lower my exemptions by 3 just to break even on taxes in 2018.
