I doubt this . Typical doctor salary may be around 250 , 000 , probably less for a GP and more for a surgeon , but whatever . Here ' s the secret about all of these tax plans highly paid salaried workers support the tax burden in this country , and are the fulcrum around which tax brackets shift . All the talk about cutting taxes is simply an excuse to give millionaires tax breaks and keep fucking over the upper middle class . If you make 250 , 000 expect to see zero change in your taxes . The switch to a large standard deduction essentially eliminates your ability to itemize , but isn ' t materially more than your itemized deductions personal exemptions would have been . You tax bracket is 33 % and remains 33 %. Enjoy .
