So the old joke says that nothing is certain in life but death and taxes. It seems like taxes continue to go up and up, no matter who "promises" they won't in Washington, right? We pay tax on darn near everything... I found this story to help illustrate how the tax burden can be spread around, consider the "tax trail" on a few common daily items:
So this year we get an extra day (or 3!) to file our income taxes! YAY! Why? Because Friday the 15th is Emancipation Day, a little-known Washington, D.C., holiday that celebrates the freeing of slaves in the district.
I've never been one to wait until the last day, but have several friends who do that...do you? This year should be pretty interesting for us tax wise. Two jobs, two states, moving and all that stuff. If you do wait until the last minute, make sure you have everything postmarked by midnight on Monday April 18th this year.
