According to Politifact, Trump’s proposed tax plan would result in an tax increase for 51% of single parents. The plan would reduce childcare deductions, require single parents to file as individuals rather than heads of households, and increase the lowest tax bracket from 10% to 12%. All of this adds up to higher taxes for economically vulnerable families.
A single parent with an income of $75,000 and two school-age children would see his or her taxes increase by $2,440 or by $1,640 if the family had child care costs that could be deducted under Trump’s plan… Similarly, a single parent making $50,000 and who had three children would face an increase of $1,188.
