in texas , we have no state tax. makes this great state sound even greater doesnt it? when i was in the navy, 4 of my friends that were in started giving me a dollar each mont for rent on my house in houston so they could be living in texas and not pay their own state tax.

Yes, other states can do that as well.  Maine is one I think.  Most states don't have such big tax bills linked to your license plates, you just pay your $50 and that's that.

Hell! They barely pay any taxes now. It's right at 15%, while everybody else pays close to 30%. With the standard deductions that's what it all works out to be. Average people don't qualify for those deductions for a reason, and the reason is you pay most of the taxes.

Not sure where you are, but I think 45% of every dollar goes to some sort of tax.

it all depends on where you live, the mill rate that municpalities use varies from 5% -10% per year

Yes, however you still need to pay the tax in your state.

Maybe it SEEMS so, but you probably don't spend more than 1/3rd of your income on taxes.  Sales taxes are only 5 or 6%; and you get tax deductions for mortgage interest, etc.  The USA has one of the lowest overall tax rates of any modernized country, especially compared to Europe.

Money Magazine did a very interesting piece "How tax-friendly is your state?"http://money.cnn.com/pf/features/lists/taxesbystate2005/index.html . Here are their findings (you may want to consider the states at the bottom of the list):\n\nState/Local taxes as % of per capita income\n\n  U.S. average 10.10% \n1 Maine 13.00% \n2 New York 12.00% \n3 Hawaii 11.50% \n4 Rhode Island 11.40% \n5 Wisconsin 11.40% \n6 Vermont 11.10% \n7 Ohio 11.00% \n8 Nebraska 10.90% \n9 Utah 10.90% \n10 Minnesota 10.70% \n11 Arkansas 10.50% \n12 Connecticut 10.50% \n13 West Virginia 10.50% \n14 New Jersey 10.40% \n15 Kansas 10.40% \n16 Louisiana 10.40% \n17 Maryland 10.30% \n18 Indiana 10.30% \n19 Kentucky 10.30% \n20 California 10.30% \n21 Arizona 10.20% \n22 Michigan 10.10% \n23 Wyoming 10.10% \n24 Washington 10.00% \n25 Iowa 10.00% \n26 Mississippi 10.00% \n27 Idaho 10.00% \n28 North Carolina 10.00% \n29 New Mexico 9.90% \n30 Illinois 9.80% \n31 Georgia 9.80% \n32 Massachusetts 9.80% \n33 South Carolina 9.70% \n34 Virginia 9.70% \n35 Pennsylvania 9.70% \n36 Oregon 9.60% \n37 Colorado 9.50% \n38 Nevada 9.50% \n39 Montana 9.50% \n40 Oklahoma 9.40% \n41 Missouri 9.40% \n42 North Dakota 9.40% \n43 Texas 9.30% \n44 Florida 9.20% \n45 South Dakota 8.80% \n46 Alabama 8.70% \n47 Tennessee 8.30% \n48 Delaware 8.00% \n49 New Hampshire 7.40% \n50 Alaska 6.40% \n  District of Columbia 12.20% \n\nSTATES WITHOUT PERSONAL INCOME TAX \n\nAlaska \nTennessee* \nFlorida \nTexas \nNevada Washington \nNew Hampshire* \nWyoming \nSouth Dakota   \n*Tennessee and New Hampshire do tax dividend and interest income

I cannot tell you specifically what is different, but each state has different subtractions and additions to income. The tax laws for each state is different. And if you lived in NYC you pay city tax. In some counties their are different tax rates between school districts. In some states military are not taxed but in others they are. Below are the state links to look it up yourself.

It will vary by state.  What state are you in?

Every state pays some kind of tax - they get you in one way or another

You need to pay taxes in the state that you work. Since you work 90% in NY, you would pay NY taxes.  My company is in California, but I work in another state and I pay that states taxes because that is where I am BASED out of, not California.  Your employer should be withholding NY taxes from your check if you home is considered your base office.

The withholding depends on the number of exemptions that you claim on the form your employer provided (W9).  The State rate in NY is, as I recall, is about 8%.

I think that the state sales tax there is 6.5%, I don't think that there is a local sales tax.

I know that in Kansas, they normally figure a small percentage based on his income and bills he must pay.  Its normally about 20%.

Been there done that.  Yes.  You pay taxes in BOTH countries.  The US gives you the first $80k or so "free", but you still get hit for state taxes and you MUST file no matter how little you make.  H&R Block charges about $200 for this "special" filing.
