Taxes?

Taxable income was within $1500. In '17 we itemized and deducted just under 24K, last year we took the standard deduction of 24K. I even make quarterly estimated's and in total they were within $1000 from year to year. Total tax dropped significantly, thus the larger refund. 

None of the brackets dropped as much as 6% and you claim the deductions were the same.

So I don't see how your tax bill could have dropped by over 6%.  The bracket ranges were adjusted some, but I still don't see the 6% drop.

But I am not going to get into the full accounting to dispute it here.  Maybe there is something I am missing.
