We all are paying a lot more in taxes than we think we are paying.  As consumers we pay the taxes of each company that has ownership in the product and the transportation of the product.  We pay Federal and State Taxes on Gasoline, Cigarettes, and Alcohol.  Then we pay sales tax on top of the Federal and State Taxes on these items.  Tax on Tax.  Property Tax yearly on Real Estate, vehilces, Rv's etc.\n\nFor Social Security Taxes we as employees pay half and the employer pays the other half, however this is also passed on to the consumer in the price of the product.  Basically when you come down to it the little guy is paying all the taxes in this country.  Sit down and figure it out we pay all the taxes corporations pass theirs on to us so do companies and retailer's.  Try to figure out what a product would cost if we were only paying for materials and wages, you would be amazed at what something costs actually.  Think about it.

There is a lot that makes me upset about taxes!The fact that my taxes go to pay wages of some slacker government employee upsets me. I don't want to pay them to take more rights away from me they have done that enough, thank you.My parents now pay more in taxes per acre, than my grandfather payed per acre to buy the farm. Not fare? nothing is anymore.we are worse off in this county than we have ever been.the poor get poorer, the rich get richer.

Prices are going down in many places in the country, including San Diego, Las Vegas and South Florida.\n\nThere is probably not a nationwide housing bubble, but there are certainly come overinflated markets.\n\nPrices nationwide have stopped going up, btw.

Was that house ever your principal residence in the last 5 years, for 2 years or more?  You get a huge tax savings if it was.  You really need to talk to either a good real estate person or an attorney/CPA and find out the tax consequences.  If it was your principal residence, you do not pay capital gains on the profit you make on the house.  If it wasn't your principal residence for 2 of the last 5 years, you do have to pay profit on the sale.  It can be complicated, you need advice from someone in your area, not a bunch of strangers off the internet.  Good luck!

I think you may have confused the Tax Collecor with the Property Appraiser Rob Turner.  \n\nYou can find who owns the property by entering the address at the Property Appraiser Web Site I've included below.

You have to pay taxes on gains over 250K for an individual or 500K in your case. In calculation of the gains you can also deduct all the improvements you made.\n\nYou do not have to pay any taxes if you lived in the house for over two out of five years prior to it's sale and your gains are less then stated above. So, sell now, and good luck.

Honestly I don't know we paid our property taxes but we had to build our own road ( about 2 miles ) and when we were done we were still refused the same mail service as every one else.\n\nEven though all promises are not met and rules are not obeyed I'm sure our money goes to a good place.\n\nwhoa!! tenth 10% is not enuff you gotta at least double that.  Gimme a break kid.

WARNING: many of the "get rich quick in Real Estate" deals (scams) are centered around buying tax forfeited properties. The taxing authority (the county) used to sell these properties for the amount of taxes owed, but many counties have begun selling them either at "fair market value" or by auction to the highest bidder. Be careful, and be sure to get an appraisal and inspection before purchasing

Don't worry, if you pay excess tax just visit your tax office- or try visiting www.gov.uk and find an online form. Just tell them you have been paying too much tax- the time limit is about 4 years so 5 months is not a problem.\n\nYou will be able to have your no tax and basic tax allowances recognised- once that happens your tax will be recalculated (spreading these allowances over the rest of the tax year) and will much lower for the rest of the year.

Others have already stated that 35% is the highest Federal income tax rate.  I included a link the the IRS tax rate schedules.

Zero. Property taxes are local taxes, not state taxes.

So, in effect, Bush and the Republicans didn't raise your taxes.  They just borrowed $30,000 in your name from Saudi Arabia and China.  That's $30,000 for each man, woman and child in America...and counting!

It is impossible to disagree with this analysis.  Just look at the economy under Carter in the 1970s.  When the top tax rate was at 70%, we had rampant inflation, high interest rates, and record unemployment.  All of this was a direct result of the out-of-control tax hike.  Businesses, having to pay exhorbitant taxes, passed this expense on to the consumer causing high inflation and thus lowering the value of the dollar.  The fed raised interest rates to slow the inflation, causing home ownership to be out of reach for more Americans.  Businesses could not afford to hire more employees because the money that they would have paid them with was going to the government in taxes.

It is your lucky Day because this plan is already a bill in the House (HR 25) and Senate (S 25) it is called the Fair Tax!!\n\nIt was developed by the finance department at MIT.\n\nAll products and services are taxed as the same rate but this tax is included in the posted price of the product BY LAW. (the receipt will show how much tax was paid)\n\nThis will eliminate the wholes in the tax system for interest groups and give people more freedom on how to use their money.\n\nFood is taxed but every household (may be dependent on income) gets a Pre-Bait check for all the cost of the tax on the basics of living for that month.  \n\nThere are no taxes on used products so no taxes at your garage sale or on your used house.\n\nNo tax on savings, investments, income, businesses, etc.\n\nThings are only taxed once at the retail level.\n\nI am personally excited about this and I think everyone should contact their Senator and Representative and tell them to support the Fair Tax!!

Nope. He raised taxes. Go figure, a democrat got into the white house and raised taxes. Nothing new there. All democrats lie to get into the white house. Its the only way they can win.

What resort were you staying at? Taxes in Michigan are 6% I thought.
