If you made $100K a year...

Federal tax on 100k is $21,717 before deductions. State and local are obviously significantly less. Tack on a few exemptions and you can get your net pay per check a bit higher at the sacrifice of a heaftier return.

 

When you look at the tax brackets, you are paying that percentage between the range of income... ie. on your first $8025 you pay 10%, $8026-$33950 you pay 15%... etc. One doesnt pay a full 28% as soon as he makes $78,852.

 

You arent supposed to get a return.

 

If you work in the city of Columbus, your taxes pretty much suck. One of the highest personal tax burdens in the country (top 10 with city and state combined)

Where you kids pull your information from, I will never know.

 

Columus is 17th when only using the nations largest cities...

Ohio is the 7th.

When you add it up Columbus still isnt close to the top 10.

I hope you get at least 10% of it back come tax return time...

 

If not we need to get you a better CPA.

 

LOL, it's been forever since I got anything back from the government (e.g., a tax return), and I don't think it has anything to do with my CPA. :)

 

Also, I just checked, and about 30% (as opposed to 40%) of my paycheck goes to taxes. So, yeah, if it were 40% being taken out, I would hope to get 10% back (though, based on what I know [which isn't much], it's better to owe the goverment than for them to give you a refund - since then you get to decide how to use your money, and not the goverment using your money as basically a debt-free loan).

Even using your information, I was correct. Columbus Ohio is 6th in personal income tax liability in the nation.

I agree. I try to peg it within a few thousand either way. As a 100% commissioned employee, it is impossible to project my exact income at year's end.

LOL, did you really have to clarify that it's the Columbus in Ohio that you're referencing?

The point was moreso that that list was only a compilation of the largest city in each state. There are plenty of smaller cities with higher rates.

 

ie.

 

Akron has a higher local tax rate (2.25%) Cincinnati (2.10%) vs. Columbus (2.0%).

:lol:

 

Whatever. Living in any city in Ohio with a city income tax is fail.

 

The 2007 list puts the average in Ohio at 6 for personal and 5th for business

Wouldn't change a whole lot, 100k/yr isn't "rich".

yep....

 

 

Reading through this thread I see a lot of people that will go into some DEEP debt to drive a car they cant afford even at 100K. IMHO if you cant pay cash you cant afford it.

Unless you own your own business like me. Then you make the tax laws work for you. I dont pay much in taxes at all.

There was a kid in canal who had one of those. He put a couple grand in maintenance and repairs on it and then traded it for an old busted cadiallac. I almost shit myself when I heard what he did. I think he's younger than me too. It was a ridiculous situation.
