>> but meaning what? you think if people can get it in under the wire before this weekend that they will still be able to deduct next year's taxes? >> half of next year's taxes, i would imagine. i'm not an accountant. i don't give accounting advice. but we have our tax bills already for february and may but not next august or next november. >> the irs is saying you have to already been assessed in order for this to work. >> we have been assessed for a full year beginning in february and may but not august and november. >> for people outside new jersey to get a is sense of what the state and local taxes are like, i want to put up this graphic. this is the average deduction for state and local taxes $21,720. that's the average. in other words, that's more than twice what they will now be able to take. that's a pretty stunning number.
