CA State Offers To Prepare Simple Tax Returns
Makarand writes "California is ready to roll out a program for taxpayers where the
state will
offer to fill out their tax forms for them if they are simple enough. Taxpayers
will merely have to go online, download and review the completed forms prepared
for them and confirm their return. This program is supposed to save money
for the state, reduce tax related headaches for many and bring into the
tax system those who are not paying any taxes currently.
The state will take information it already receives on W-2 wage statements,
put it in the right boxes on the tax return, and do the math."
first psot!!!
Considering the tax rate I get in the state of California, I could care less as to whether they offer this or not. What equates to a kiss to taxpayers is still followed up by a colossal screwing.
Carjackers will now be offering to pick up your car right at your home. Just leave the keys in the ignition, and email them your address, and they will steal your car far more safely and conviently than the ordinary gun-point on the street corner technique.
9.3% highest bracket, 7.5%+ sales tax, 32 cents per gallon gas tax. Fortunantly property taxes are somewhat low... if only I could afford property with the above mentioned taxes eating my salary + 33% federal income tax + 15% FICA/Medicare. This concludes my offtopic bitching.
