I did mine in early March. I hope that I get my refund soon.

Mine will be submitted tomorrow.

I once got a refund of $1 from the State of Idaho, which they mailed to me in the form of a check. It probably cost more to process and print the paper, then mail it than $1.

They... are... in...

I want my refund check!

I hate tax time! We always get a decent refund from the feds, which we have to turn around and use for the huge amount we always owe Georgia.

I heart Texas.

No state tax!

You totally beat me. I had to write a check to the Feds for $12!

But high property taxes and sales tax.

States without income tax make you pay the same amount other places.

Are you sure about that?

Some states tax more than others. For example, Californians pay very similar taxes to Washingtonians, but the former pay income taxes on top of it. And in states with no income tax, still your overall taxes would depend on what you purchase/own...for example, someone that rents an apartment (therefore no property tax) and takes public transportation to work (fewer gas taxes), AND has no state income tax, would probably pay far less in taxes in the end.

Some states are more efficient than others with their dollars, or they have different philosophies for how money should be raised/spent.

Last year I got back $5 from state and had to pay federal $138:mad::mad:!!

This year I get $9 from Federal and $21 from State!

Boy am I happy:rolleyes:

Where are these states? I need to RELOCATE!

Texas and Tennessee are 2. I think Peppy lives in Washington.

I did my taxes back in February. I took my refund and opened a high-interest savings account. Which turns out to be not-so-high-interest. But I'm too chicken to hand it over to a stock broker or anything like that.

You do pay an income tax in Tennessee on some investment income (i.e. stocks). Just an FYI, and another reason Texas is better than Tennessee. :) AND TN taxes food, which TX does not. I was amazed at that.

Finally got ours filed Friday. They've been done for a while, we've just been waiting for Mikey's Social Security Number to come in. After nagging our mailman for weeks, I about kissed him on Thursday when he rang the bell and handed it to me. :)

Yep. The state we live in has an income tax, but its overall tax burden per taxpayer is one of the lowest in the country. People always get overly butt hurt about income tax. Now.. Texas property taxes -- those are scary.

My God. We agree on something in public policy besides puppy mills.
