The tax man cometh …

• Posted in General musings

So I mailed my taxes in over the weekend. Painful, as always. Self-employment tax, which authors have to pay, really, really sucks. 👿

I also have a day job, which is in a different state from where I live. And wouldn’t you know it, but the state that I work in has a state income tax. This year, I had to send them a check for $9.

Evidently, all the money that the state takes out of my paycheck during the year isn’t enough to cover the state income tax. No, they need $9 more. Sigh … :rolleyes:

    I hate taxes! Ugh. 😡 I don’t mind doing my share but I live in NY state and we get taxed for anything and everything. I really don’t know why there is still a state deficit with the amounts we pay.

    Me too! We don’t have a state income tax where I live, but the sales tax is outrageous — something like 9 percent. And that’s before the city/county tack on their tax. Sigh …
