Not sure this belongs here but....
it's probably impossible for anyone to know for sure, but if my boss owes me a decent amount of money, would it be better for me, tax wise, to take it in 2016 or to wait till 2017 and hope trump lowers the taxes? Also same question regarding tzedaka, think it would be better for me to give extra and claim it in 2016 or wait till 2017?
